Yeast Infection Odor Archives

yellow discharge.. foul odor. itching. & sometimes a lil burning while peeing but might be from cut while shavingg.
please onlyy respectful answers:)

does this sound more like chlymedia or yeast infection??

Ever since I had my first yeast infection things have felt different.

I went to my OBGYN and he gave me a prescription for vaginal cream and a 1 time pill to use, but I feel like it never went away and he never told me it was a yeast infection specifically. I had a very expensive pap smear done and because of travel I never got to pick up my results or extend further testing, but they never contacted me so I assume there was no emergency to give the results.
I had itching, discomfort, and discharge (I think?) that is very light tannish and in the form of beads of dead skin (if you have ever been to a public bath house and had your skin scrubbed you know what I mean) that you can squish between your fingers and it leaves a dry feeling (I’m very very very sorry for the graphic there, but I’m wondering if this is what people mean when they say your discharge can be described as cottage cheese but I see cottage cheese as wet and chunky mashed together which isn’t what I picture).
I bought another brand of vaginal cream because some people suggested trying another company’s. That didn’t help either and I made sure I followed the directions and took it consistently.
My discharge still hasn’t gone away or the itching and there still is no odor. It is embarrassing because I’ve recently become sexually active and I don’t know if it is safe to have sex or not even with protection in fear that it might spread.
I read something about how the yeast can become resistant to certain ingredients and can’t be cured and I also took the new test that vagasil came out with to test your PH level and it said my PH was normal.
Should I just keep trying on different types of creams?
Oh, and I’m not a dirty person either and don’t douche just use natural water and dry.

This problem is driving me crazy does anyone have any suggestions or helpful information?

the past couple of days i have just been really itchy down there, no odor, no discharge at all, no nothing just itchy! :( i was treated with 7 day monistat (the cream you inject into you) for 7 nights and it took till the 7day for the symptoms to actually go away. i have been perfectly fine but now it feels like i have another yeast infection! i am so mad!

my question is, can yeast infections come and go like this? i dont understand i am a very very clean person and i drink plenty of water, eat yogurt everyday and drink cranberry juice because i use to get utis all the time pre pregnancy but i have been getting yeast infections with this pregnancy! i dont get it!

also, can lube cause yeast infections? i use water based strawberrie when my boyfriend and i have intercourse.. could this have something to do with it?

help! sorry for the t.m.i. im a very open person. answers are greatly appreciated!

thank you very much!

First let me start off by saying that within the past 2 weeks my boyfriend and i just began to have sex unprotected(so my concern for std is quite high right now).3 days ago i woke up and when i went into the kitchen i had a watery discharge drip down my thighs,it smelled horrible,i could have thrown up..i assumed it was because he had cum inside me the night before and i hadnt showered yet.So i just proceeded to shower after breakfast assuming all would be well later…WRONG.
even after showering i could smell it (through my jeans also).THis worries the hell out of me.Odor has never been a problem of mine,so i know off top that something is wrong.Not only is there odor but i developed itching,pain,and generalized raw feeling on my labia and vulva area with a clumpy white discharge..I assumed it was a yeast infection at this point(but i had one during my pregnancy and dont remember this odor) but then the discharge changed and other thinhgs occured so here is a quick overview of my signs and symptoms:
*- Foul odor (not necessarily fishy,more like something ROTTiNg) you can smell through pants/jeans
*-Discharge(varies in quantity,color and texture) slightly bloody at times
*-Pain,itching,& redness on labia and vulva area
*-Pain during intercourse(already an issue,he is quite large)now its more due to irritation also
any ideas of what it could be?
i am calling my gyno in the morning anyway..im still so concerned
I also have the Mirena IUD for the past 6 or 7 months…do not use tampons or douche..(if any of these facts matter or not)

I live in NC where it’s been very hot and humid for the whole summer. About a year ago, I was diagnosed with an allergic yeast infection; I can’t remember the proper name for it. My doctor said it was due to allergies mainly grass. Therefore, I should avoid bread, etc. Also, she said to drink almond milk or soy milk. Being that I’m on a tight budget, it’s hard for me to spend extra money to avoid certain things (I use coupons a lot). I do drink soda often (I know this is really bad I plan on stopping hopefully tomorrow). I’m almost always tired.

In the past year, I would get an infection about once a month, I’d take the prescription pill and it would go away. Now, if I get an infection since May, it rarely goes away, only did once I think.

Anyways, I’ve had a yeast infection since May, grass is being cut quite often I notice when I’m outside my nose gets a little stuffy and my discharge gets worse. The discharge is yellow. Unfortunately, I walk to work (why drive when it’s ten minutes) and run errands on campus so I can’t really avoid being outside. I have had a bacterial infection off and on also but my doctor told me only to get the prescription cream if I have a fishy odor which I don’t. I’m sorry this is so long but it’s really really frustrating. The only symptoms I really have is a lot of yellow discharge especially if I’m outside and sometimes but not often itching. There’s times where I’m able to have sex with my boyfriend and it’s fine, other times it’s sore.

A few questions: say I want to get in shape and jog outside, would that be alright as long as I showered and dried off as soon as I got back? Also, I use birth control but I don’t think it ties in with it too much this all started quite a few months after starting it, so do you think it’s related? My boyfriend hasn’t had any symptoms and I don’t think he has it, so as long as nothing unusual crops up, is he alright? Thank you everyone for your help.

My symptoms are in the title of the question and here is my medical history:

I have abnormal hormone levels and Leiden Factor V (a DNA mutation which heightens my risks for blood clots. Due to both of these, I am not qualified to take regular pill birth control, because I’ll most likely get blood clots. Yet, my OB/GYN was concerned about me getting pregnant (I am sexually active) so even though I can’t take pill or common forms of birth control, she inserted Implanon in my arm. Unfortunately, I can never take anything to regulate my period again because the blood clots — my periods are extremely irregular due to my abnormal hormone levels, sometimes I only get them three times a year, I never know when they’re going to start of stop, the length of each one is completely unpredictable — but the Implanon has a 100% rate of preventing pregnancy.

I recently had my period, but the thing is — it lasted about 20 days, I didn’t have it for 2 days, then I got it again for 3 days. This is the longest period I’ve ever had in my life, but I assumed there was no problem seeing how I’ve been irregular to an extreme extent since I first got my period years ago (I’m 18 years old.) My period eventually stopped about 4 days ago, but then I started getting a heavier than usual, white, chunky, sticky discharge. I thought I might have a yeast infection — I had one yeast infection last year. The next day, that discharge became more greenish/yellow in color and changed to more of a normal discharge consistency; It was not frothy, chunky, or overly sticky. I also started experiencing itching only from the inside walls of my labia minora. The color of that skin was a very subtle, light red. Then today the greenish/yellow discharge continued in the morning but by 4pm, it had changed to a watery brown/bloody discharge that actually made a small spot that went through my underwear. I was completely surprised. When I just had the greenish/yellow discharge, I thought it was a bacterial infection, chlamydia, or gonorrhea but was definitely hoping that it was just a yeast infection. No odor was ever present throughout any stage of these problems. But after the discharge changed to a brown/bloody discharge with a watery consistency I’m starting to panic because that’s a symptom of cancer — cervical cancer to be exact. The reason I’m panicking more than another person is, is because my Mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer two years ago. She survived after surgery, but there was an almost guaranteed chance that I would likewise be diagnosed with cervical when I was older — I just did not think it’d be this soon.

What do you think it is?

A week ago I went to the doctor because i was having a odor (especially after sex), white discharge that would sometimes be lightish green. I was diagnosed with a yeast infection and was given Fluconazole. Now, I’m having a mucus-like dicharge with light odor and is grayish/green. The mucusy discharge just started after taking the medication. I dont think its a YI, but I’m scared to go to the doctors again because that was the 2nd time I went to the Dr. For a YI and my mom freaked out and started saying I’m dirty be I’m a slut (which I’m NOT). Was it a yeast infection and what is it now? My body is VERY sensitive so how do I prevent any infections from happening again?
Also, I’m 16, sexually active.
and I can’t just go to the doctor by myself and I can only go to the gyno if my regular doctor says it is neccessary
I live in Hawaii

I think I might have a yeast infection…Do I….I am very tender down there and have had VERY thick white discharage for about 4 days now. I had my LMP on the 19 of Nov. and am due for mine again on the 17 of this month. Could it have something to do with that? It has no odor ar anything ( I am married so No STD)
It really does not itch but very very tender when I wipe ( I had some blood on tolet paper) If it is what is some home remedies?

I have never had one before but I think I have one now; I have a distinctive urinal and a slight burning sensation when I urinate. The burning is nothing too bad, hardly there, it is the smell that is bothering me.

I bought Vagisil was yesterday & it seems to be helping a bit with the odor. I have occasional watery cloudy-clear discharge too. I have never had a yeast infection before, I am 19 now & would like to know what works best to clear an infection quickly. Monistat? I don’t want to wait 7 days, and I don’t think mine is that bad at all anyway.

Please help!

I had a yeast infection my doctor gave me dilflucan two piills and metro gel to treat the bacterial infection which I also had…while i was on treatment I had cottage cheese like discharge (i’m guessing the pills were clening me out becuase i did NOT have any discharge prior to go to the doc) well anyways my bad odor is gone and so is the discharge but no that I have finished my treatment I have an itch…did the yeat not go away or what’s going on all the other symptoms are gone?
