Could I have a yeast infection?


 
For the past six months, I have been experiencing intense itching and burning “down there." I also have a white, thick discharge recently. What is wrong? Could this be a yeast infection?


Hate to break it to ya, babe, but intense itching and burning as well as white, cottage cheese-like discharge are the big symptoms of a yeast infection You might also experience redness and swelling around your vagina and vulva as well as pain while you pee. Not all symptoms have to be present, but you should definitely head to your doctor for a professional diagnosis and treatment.


Chances are your doc will need to do a pelvic exam to make sure you have a yeast infection, and will probably take a fluid sample. Once he (or she) knows for sure that a yeast infection is the culprit, you’ll be put on antifungal meds to clear it up. A yeast infection isn’t a big deal and it’s incredibly common, so you’ve got nothing to be embarrassed about. You just need to get it taken care of!

Okay, So I think I have a Yeast Infection and I told my Mom about it so she's gonna make me an appointment today with the Gyneocologist. Well this will be my first time going and I'm really scared and Nervous! What are they gonna do? Please Help! Thanks. (:




Hey babe, every girl has those appointments, so don't sweat it. Just tell the doctor if anything he or she does makes you uncomfortable, and they should respect that and stop it. They're just gonna check you out down there, which is awkward but no big deal. There shouldn't be anything that hurts or makes you super uncomfortable.

This happened to me like a year ago and I didn't do anything about it and now it's all gone, except for a white-ish discharge that's there constantly...Is there something wrong with me and should I get it checked out now?

I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection because I have this bump down there but my mom says it's an ingrown hair. And it itches and burns sometimes down there. But my mom won't take me to my gyno. HELP?




Hey babe,

If it's an itchy, irritated bump on the outside, mom is probably right on this one - it's either a pimple or an ingrown hair so you should just let it be without touching too much. If it burns or itches inside down there, that's when you have to worry about yeast infections.
