yeast infection “down there”?
i’ve heard that to get a yeast infection, you have to have either yellow, green, or white clumpy discharge “down there” and you itch, have pain, and have a strong odor in your discharge. however, ok… i’m 14 and basically started my period 3 years ago, so i’m not on a set schedule yet, but my last period was the first irregular one i’ve had – it lasted 21 days, i think. it recently stopped, thank goodness, and my mom said it was just part of getting ur first period. but today i wiped and i saw in my underwear white discharge, but not clumpy. it had a different odor, like i could smell it in school occasionally. anyone know if i have a yeast infection? i’m really scared please help me! 
*******AND ALSO***** what do doctors usually do to tell if u have a yeast infection, or how do they prescribe you?
A yeast infection, can either be an infection of the vagina directly, or it can be present within the bladder (also called Cystitis)
White odourless discharge, that looks simular to cottage cheese, is common with a yeast infection of the vagina. Symptoms also include being itchy down there.
Cystitis symptoms include, stomach pain, pain when passing urine.
Just before your period, during and after, it is normal for your discharge to change in colour and odour. It is also normal to have dark brown discharge around this time.
The only time to start worrying, is when your discharge smells bad, or is a strange colour at a time other than around your period, or you itch, burn, or feel any discomfort down there.
What you have described here, sounds perfectly normal to me. Although if you are still worried, then i would have a word with your mom about it.
If you do have one theres nothing to worry about it’s very common to get them and when you go to your doctor all they will ask is what symptoms you are having and diagnose you with the problem if you do have one they will give you tablet and some cream and that will clear it straight away
when i get YI i only get a burning feeling, no discharge or itch. if you are concerned go to your doctor especially if this is your first because you can misdiagnose yourself. the dr will take a swab from your vagina and do a culture to see if it came back positive for YI or another type of infection. if you do have a YI they will either prescribe you diflucan or tell you to get an otc medication like monistat. good luck!
