How Will A Gynecologist Check For A Yeast Infection?
Just to ease my mind a little. I have an appointment tomorrow for my yearly checkup and also to see if I have a yeast infection. How will he check for that? Do they take a urine test, or is it a pap smear/pelvic exam or something else? Thanks in advance.

They can tell by examining your vulva. My gyno took one look at me and said…yep, it’s a yeast infection.
Usually they can just tell visually from a pelvic exam. They might also take a swab for lab work if they feel it necessary, but it’s not necessary to scrape cells like a pap.
Pelvic exam. I think that most doctors can check for it with just a visual exam, but he might take a swab as well. If so, it would be less uncomfortable than a pap – no big deal.

They start out like they are doing a pap smear. They can use a swab and take a culture and check for a yeast infection. It is a separate test from a pap smear. It’s quick and totally painless. You might feel ackward but that is it.
For your yearly test they probably will take a urine sample.
it is the same as a pap. she will do it all at the same time
