This is embarassing but I was itching down there and even had a burning feeling inside. Later I saw I had some white discharge... I bought Monistat and treated it for a yeast infection. It felt better but now it's about 2 weeks later and I'm itching down there again. I don't have any discharge this time though. What could it be? Any suggests to treat it without going to a doctor? Thanks a lot for the help.

Treating this without seeing a doctor doesn't seem like a good idea in this case because of two reasons: the first is that OTC medications are not as strong as a prescription, so you might not see any results. The second reason is because there are different types of bacteria that cannot be destroyed with the same medication, such as Monistat. Different bacteria require different treatments. You might have something stronger, or maybe it's not an infection. Consulting your doctor is definitely the best option.

It could still be a yeast infection....if you only tried a 3 day treatment maybe try the 7 day treatment. Or call and get a script for diflucan. It may be best at this point to just go to your doc to be on the safe side.

Hmmm. Sounds like a yeast infection. But if the usual remedies don't work you better ask your doctor. That must be very uncomfortable. I hate the itchy feeling.

You should really go to a doctor b/c it could be something serious. Wash "down there" every night. That helps...
