does a yeast infection always have discharge & smelly?

Question

does a yeast infection 'always' have discharge and smell with it? I dont have those two symptoms, but have the sensitive itchyness a couple of times leading up to my period.
I`m trying to figure if thats what I have or if its an allergy.

Answer 1

Go to webmd.com and look up yeast infections.
I think it's just the area getting sensitive because of your period coming on. If you don't have the other two symptoms then I'd say it isn't a yeast infection.
I'm assuming you have no burning while you pee. If you do, this could fall under a whole different category and you should see your doctor now.

Easy At-Home Methods to Rebalance the Vaginal Ph

Many women use non-medical methods for treating yeast, because the cost of over-the-counter methods is high, because they are unimpressed with OTC methods, or simply because they prefer more natural methods. Following is a partial list of at-home methods that may be helpful.

Insert unpasteurized, plain yogurt with a small spoon or spatula or vaginal cream applicator. Insert at night and wear a pad. Repeat for three to seven nights, until symptoms disappear. Douching with yogurt and water can help, too. It also helps to eat a lot of yogurt.
"Paint" the vagina, cervix (you'll need a speculum) and vulva (outside area including the labia or "lips" of vagina) with gentian violet. It stains so you'll want to wear a pad. This usually works after one treatment.
Insert a garlic suppository. Carefully peel one clove of garlic. Wrap in gauze and insert into the vagina. Leave in for up to twelve hours. Repeat as necessary. It also helps to eat a lot of garlic.
Drink cranberry juice. Unsweetened is best.
Insert Potassium Sorbate. This is used in home beer-making and can be found at wine-making stores. Dip a cotton tampon into a 3% solution (15 grams of Potassium Sorbate in one pint of water) and insert into the vagina at night. Remove in the morning.
Drink or eat Acidophilus. It's available in powder or capsules in health food stores or found in some milk and yogurt products. (Read the label; some dairy products have added acidophilus.)
Douche with a vinegar/water solution. One tablespoon of vinegar to one quart of water, once a day. Especially effective when used with yogurt suppositories.

Women have known for a long time how to recognize and treat an overgrowth of vaginal yeast, or a "yeast infection." Technically a fungus, yeast is also called "Candida" or "Monilia." It results from an upset of the vaginal Ph or an imbalance of the vagina's acid and base elements. It is not a true "infection" since there is no outside bacteria that enters the body to cause a problem; rather, the "infection" is an overgrowth of monilia naturally found in the vagina. To diagnose, a clinician takes a "wet mount" and looks at the vaginal secretions under a microscope. Yeast is easy to identify without this test, however, since it announces itself with itching (not burning, unless the area is scratched raw) and a discharge. Typically, a yeast discharge will be white, thick and lumpy (this is usually described as "cottage-cheese-like"). Yeast is not dangerous and unless its symptoms, discharge and itching, are bothersome,
