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!

Hey girl,

You should go see your doctor just to make sure everything's ok, but if you shave down there, it could be an ingrown hair from shaving. x0x0

MOD MOD
Do we get more yeast infections as we get older? It seems like older people I know like my mom seems to talk about them more?  




Hey girl,

Yeast infections don't depend on how old you are, so don't worry about that. However, when you are older, you're usually doing more sexual activity than you were when you were younger, which can bring on the yeast infections. That's probably what's going on with your cousin. x0x0

MOD MOD MOD I once thought I and a yeast infection but a doctor confirmed that i didn't. But now there a little bumps down there that look like pimples and its really embarasing. They go away but some leave a scab. And I know for sure it's not an STD. Thanks!

 

 

Hey chica! If you shave down there, the bumps are most likely razor burn, which is totally normal and common. Otherwise, I'd talk to your doc one more time and let them know your symptoms!

MOD MOD MOD! What color is "normal" for discharge?
And what are the symptoms of a yeast infection- common and rare?




Hey chica,

Read this article for the usual characteristics of discharge. That article also has some deets on warning signs that aren't normal. And this page describes a lot about the signs of a yeast infection. Trust me - if you have a yeast infection, with itching/burning and a more chunky discharge, you'll probably know!
