Well the answer is yes and no some times there can be a slight odor and by eating yogurt and keeping your privates dry of moisture. As well as wearing only cotton under wear. These things should eliminate any future yeast problems, And if you dint like yogurt there are acidophiles pill that you can take.

Yeast infections crop up all over the place on the body especially if you're overweight and it's hot outside. The body folds will smell like rotting flesh. You can treat it with antibacterial soap and water. Wash thoroughly and gently, rinse good, pat dry. Now you want to keep the skin from contacting other skin, so take a washcloth or some other kind of fabric and put them between the folds. Do not under any circumstance use a powder that has corn starch in it as the corn starch will be used as a food source for the yeast. You can use talc powder.
If the infection is in the vagina go to the store and get you some monostat and follow the directions. You can use the monostat on the fold yeast too, but it burns a little.

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Yes it does cause a odor. The odor can be fishy or just yuck. Depends on the severity of the yeast infection.

It is probably a different organism. Not everything is yeast and cannot be treated by over the counter drugs. You need to see a gyn, sweetie!

The primary symptom of BV is an abnormal, odorous vaginal discharge. The fish-like odor is noticeable especially after intercourse. Nearly half of the women with clinical signs of BV, however, report no symptoms. A physician may observe these signs during a physical examination and may confirm the diagnosis by doing tests of vaginal fluid.

Yes, it can cause a nasty odor. There are over the counter meds for it. Talk to your pharmacist.
