Is this a new symptom for you? Do you have any other symptoms, is there any irritation? Are you using a new soap? Women do shed cells from the vaginal lining, usually it shouldn't itch, Yeast tends to look more whitish. I would have a check-up with your doc.

Probably just a yeast infection. You can buy across the counter suppositories and see if it clears up (be sure and wear a pad during this time).
You may also want to modify your diet and eat very little vinegar, yeast and sugar for several days so it will clear up faster ~ those all feed the bacteria. Also, take 8 to 10 Garlic Capsules a day for several days and drink lots of water. If it doesn't clear up, go to the doctor. You may need something stronger.
Good luck ~ yours is a mild case now, just keep it under control whenever it hits so it won't get a hold on you.

U could possibly have a vaginal infection. See ur gyne or doctor, he/she will do a vaginal culture to determine the type of infection and treat it accordingly. Nothing alarming, since most women are plagued with some type of discharge at one time or another. Since urs causes itching, not normal, u need to consult ur doctor. A yeast infection does not produce the color discharge u describe, so don`t self medicate with OTC products.

usually as long as it is clear there is no infection. the other color is a bit concerning, go see a doctor to have a pap done and for the time being try a yeast infection over the counter remedy. you could be starting to get a yeast infection. But definitely make that appointment to make sure there is nothing else going on down there especially if you are sexually active.

ok.. this is gross but does the discharge have any smell? like uncooked bread.. if it does than its definitely a yeast infection. Itchyness and thick discharge are symptoms of a yeast infection you can go to your local drug store at get monistat, it will clear it up fast. If you are having unprotected sex with your partner make sure you apply the cream to his penis too, if you had sex with him during your yeast infection, he could also have it, with no symptoms(lucky them) and can keep transferring it back to you. Don't think its anything to worry about. If monistat doesn't clear it up make an appointment with your GYN asap. goodluck. oh and stay away from panties that arent cotton, like those silky jobs, or thongs they dont allow your stuff to breathe... tight pants are also a no no.

During a woman's menstrual cycle there're days (about a week before your period comes) where a woman may have thicker discharge. It's usually creamy and white.
As long as your discharge doesn't smell fishy, you're fine. But if it does smell a bit and it feels itchy, and when you spread your labia majora and you see it looks red and irrated, you might have vaginal thrush.
In that case, get Caneston thrush treatment cream or pessary. It'll clear within 1 week or 2 maiximum. If it continues, see your doc

Definitely sounds like a Yeast Infection. You'll need to go to the doctor to get treatment and also to make sure it isn't an STD.

simply it could be a yeast infection. Is there an odor? Can't believe I just asked that but that is a very important diagnostic tool. It could be several several infections. Are u sex. active? I think it would be best to go to the dr. Do NOT douche unless the Dr. tells you to . Go to a clinic and get tested okay Sweetie!
