Can a yeast infection be a sign of chlamydia?
A yeast infection is not a sign of chlamydia.
Can chlamydia be mistaken for a yeast infection?
A yeast infection is diagnosed by looking at vaginal discharge under a microscope. Chlamydia is diagnosed via a cervical swab or urine test. If laboratory testing is used, you can't mistake one for the other.
Is chlamydia a highly contagious yeast infection?
It is not; they are separate causes. Chlamydia is bacterial, and yeast is fungal.
How can a yeast infection produce a viral strand of chlamydia?
A yeast infection can not do so. And chlamydia is not viral. A yeast infection can't cause or lead to chlamydia, and chlamydia is a bacterial infection. You get chlamydia from sexual contact with someone who's infected. It's spread by oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to an infected mother.
How do chlamydia and yeast infection get misdiagnosed?
It's hard to imagine who chlamydia and yeast infection could be confused. Yeast and chlamydia are very different organisms. They may occur together, leading yeast to be diagnosed clinically or via microscopic examination of vaginal discharge, and chlamydia later being reported positive from specific chlamydia testing. Sometimes patients mistake this chain of events to mean that the yeast infection diagnosis was incorrect.
Can chlamydia cause a yeast infection?
No you have to have sex with someone who has Chlamydia to get it. You can get a yeast infection without having sex; it's not really an "infection" that you catch, but an imbalance in the normal flora of the vagina. Because the symptoms of chlamydia are usually absent or hardly noticable, it's not hard to imagine a woman treating herself repeatedly with over-the-counter yeast infection treatments, not realizing that something else is wrong. Follow the instructions on yeast medication and get examined if you don't have long-lasting relief from symptoms.
What fungi come with chlamydia?
There is no fungus that is particularly associated with chlamydia. Occasionally, a woman may complain of a yeast infection (a fungal overgrowth) after treatment for chlamydia.

Are chlamydia and thrush related?
Chlamydia and yeast infection are caused by different microbes, have different risk factors, and different symptoms. They both can affect the female reproductive tract.
Are the symptons for chlamydia and yeast infection the same?
Most women (80-90%) with chlamydia have no symptoms at all. Those who have symptoms may have painful urination, unusual yellow vaginal discharge, bleeding between periods or after sex, and pelvic pain. In contrast, yeast infections -- really, an imbalance or overgrowth of yeast -- can cause a white, cottage cheese-like discharge and vulvar or vaginal itching, redness, and irritation.
Can vagisil cure a yeast infection?
Vagisil does not cure chlamydia. There are high risks from untreated chlamydia. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
