I have been getting a thick lumpy white discharge lately, also inching around the vagina (not constant) also my vagina a little red / swolen (maybe from scratching) i am suspecting a yeast infection but i dont really know what one is. If yes to yeast infection how do i get rid of it and what caused it. Please help!

Yes it sounds like yeast. A number of things can cause one. Stress, too much caffeine, staying moist, using a different soap or detergent, not cleaning up after intercourse. I would get them all the time. You can either call your doctor and tell him you need the difflucan pill or you can try the creams at the store. I personally would call your doctor. Hope this helps!

It sounds like it could be a yeast infection. However, If you are concerned in any way that it could be symptoms of an STD, you should probably go and get it checked out. Many STD's are "silent" meaning you don't get any symptoms at all. If you think that you might have put yourself at risk, always check. And if it is in fact "only" a yeast infection, than the doctor can prescribe an antibiotic, and inform you of over the counter symptom relief.

Yea that is a yeast infection for sure!! Go and buy a treatment kit at the store and it will clear up quickly. Try not to scratch to much. It makes it worse.

Go get monistat and vagisel the vagisel will relieve the itching instantly may burn for a sec but it will be soooo good. The monistat will make the discharge go away. If the symptoms don't stop go to a doctor. Good luck. and don't worry everyone gets them at some point. Try to wear underwear that has a white cotten liner and keep the area dry pee before and after sex if you have it. and wipe from front to back always after going...potty.

First off...If you don't know what it is that you have, you need to go to the doctor...Second you never treat anything if you don't necessarily know the symptoms for what you're treating...Third almost all STD's begin like an yeast infection. If you don't know what it is then you need to see your doctor so that you can get confirmation.

Yep it sounds pretty much like a yeast infection to me. If you are having sex you can get it from you and your partners hormones not mixing right. That used to happen to a friend of mine. Her and her boyfriends hormones did not mix right and she got them often. Go see your Doc, or get some over the counter meds!!

prob candida...get the treatment from the pharmacy or diflucan from the doctor. changes in your normal vaginal chemistry allows it to overgrow. antibiotics do this for one.
