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!

MOD MOD MOD I have this itching down there sometimes its even really intense. I also have white discharge. I have no discharge on my period but the itching i have it when im on my period or when im not on my period. Whats going on??




Hey girl,

The itching could just be irritation because of your underwear or something simple like that. But to be sure, check to see if there is a fishy odor or a colored discharge (anything but clear and white/off-white) accompanying it. If the itch sticks around or comes with either of these things, it's best to call your doc and make an appointment just to make sure it isn't a yeast infection!

MOD! MOD! MOD!
For the past three days clear to white discharge has is left on my undies making them wet. "Down there" there is white-ish discharge. It's been a week and a half since my period ended and i started seeing this discharge problem three days ago. There isn't any itching just the ocasional iratation.




Hey girl,

If you got your first period less than a year ago, it can be a little abnormal and you can get discharge at times other than right before your period.

fruitlover787 is saying if her stomach hurts, wants to keep eating, and there is color in her... poop. (# 2) hate to say that. And is asking if these are the signs of her period coming.

Hey, down there itches most of the time, and when I I pee, it feels tingly, and a bit painful... could this be an infection? I`m kind of worried. And hadn`t had the guts to tell my mom about this problem yet. help me! thanks.
