Can Yeast Infection Cause Burning Of Vagina And Buttocks?

I have a burning feeling between the vagina area and my butt but also including the butt area/cheek. I am being treated for a yeast infection for about a month or so. Can this be caused by a yeast infection, and IUD that I have had for 2 years or an urinary track infection. The burning sensation comes out of nowhere.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history, symptoms and the affected area suggests me that you may be having fungal infection but it should be confirmed by the physical examination.

The fungus are the normal commensals of the genitals which are kept under control by helpful bacteria, whenever there is a imbalance in the environment these fungus will multiply and produces its symptoms.

For your present symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the area clean and dry
2.Topical anti fungal cream like ketaconazole can be applied.
3.Oral or vaginal tab Flucanazole 150 mg.
Thank you.
