Yeast is part of the normal flora of the vagina.  For various reasons, it can colonize and overgrow and cause a whitish, odorless, cottage cheese-like discharge.  Some of the reasons for overgrowth are, sitting around in a wet bathing suit after going in a hot tub, high consumption of sugar or sugar laden drinks, and wearing underwear made of nylon or non-breathable fabrics.  It can also be precipitous of a pre-diabetic or diabetic condition if you seem to get one after another.

Although you are correct, that "clumpy white stuff" could mean you have a yeast infection or an STD, if you are not experiencing any other symptoms, this could be totally normal!\n\nAs part of the normal cycle, women produce cervical fluid - and depending on the stage of the cycle it will range from clear to gummy or white and clumpy (or many variations in between).  Sometimes, this fluid comes out on to your underwear from strenuous activity (if you hadn't noticed it before) or after sex.  Again, if you don't have any other symptoms (itching, redness, rash, etc), it is probably a normal thing.\n\nI highly encourage you to investigate the source cited below.  There are MANY misdiagnosed yeast infections because of the simple misunderstanding of how your body works.  Hope this helps!

Don't waste your time and life asking something like that on Yahoo!!!!  The people on here are NOT doctors.  You NEED a doctor!  You need to call your PCP (primary care physician) immediately!  You should have done so a long time ago.  You should refrain from all sexual activity until your doctor gives you the go ahead (you could be endangering your girlfriends as well as yourself).  No matter whether it is Candidisis (yes that is a real affliction) or not, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Does it have an odor?  Do you suffer from itching? Is is clear or milky white in coloring? You may have a yeast infection.  I would call your general physician or gynocologist and relate the discharge to her.  It could be nothing just general femine stuff even I find my body tends to get excited when mentally i'm not but you may have something more serious. \nsymptoms of vaginal yeast infections \n\n how can you tell that your crotch rot is really a yeast infection and not something else? most medical types say that you should go to a doctor to get it diagnosed the first time, and then once you know what you're looking for, you can figure it out yourself the next time and respond appropriately. i used to blow this off as a bunch of MDs protecting their turf and their profits, but more and more evidence is accumulating that wimmin often misdiagnose themselves as having a yeast infections when they really have something else. this is bad because you might have a more serious problem that isn't getting treated while you futz around with yeast treatments. just as bad, if you use an over-the-counter treatment for yeast and you don't really have yeast infection, you might be creating your own personal race of drug-resistant super-yeast, and next time you have a real yeast infection it could be damned hard to get rid of. \n\na doctor can tell for sure if you have a yeast infection by taking a swab and looking in a microscope. most of us can't do this at home, but sometimes you can tell by the feel, look, and smell that you have a yeast infection. if your symptoms don't match this list, or you are confused or uncertain, go see a doctor if at all possible.\n\n\n feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. this itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone ride your bike to the pharmacy or doctor to get it treated. \n looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear. \n\n smells like bread or beer. in fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). no bacteria could smell like that, so it's a great diagnostic. \n\nfinally, in response to a recent question, i point out that a yeast infection will NOT cause you to miss your period.\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nrecognizing other types of infections\nthere are other nasty creatures besides yeast that can sometimes infect your crotch, and it's helpful to know the symptoms of all of them so you can be really sure before you go treat yourself for a yeast infection you might not have. \n\n a bacterial infection of the vagina can feel a lot like a yeast infection if the vulval area is itchy or painful. unlike a yeast infection, the discharge can be dark yellow, green, or brown. and it won't smell like bread: it can smell like fish or something rotting, particularly after you have sex. if you think you might have a bacterial infection, or if you're not sure, get your diseased self to a doctor, sister. the main treatment is prescription antibiotics. \n\n urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are due to bacteria infecting the urethra rather than the vagina. (and if you aren't sure about the difference, check out elf sternberg's page on the sexual anatomy of women.) UTIs can be fairly easily distinguished from vaginal infections by a host of symptoms, including pain or burning when urinating, blood or mucus in urine, needing to urinate often, pain or pressure in back or lower abdomen, and a fever or chills. if you think you might have a UTI, don't mess around: go see a doctor, because the infection can travel up past the bladder, causing kidney damage. \n\n tricho

Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is A LOT of mucous produced, up to 30X more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time. \n\nThe things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor.\n \n Different Types of Discharge \n\n \n\nWhite: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.\n\nClear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.\n\nClear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.\n\nYellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.\n\nBrown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.\n\nSpotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test \n..How old are you (really)? \nAre you on medications or do you take herbs or vitamins?\n\nDo you have pain or itching?\n\nAre you pregnant?\n\nDo you have other health problems (like diabetes)?\nSometimes it isn't accurate to simply say yes or no. Symptoms can depend on the number of sexual partners, kind of sexual partners, birth control, birth control failure, kind of sex you are having and if abuse is involved. I think you can see, it can get pretty complicated to get all the information needed to give the best answer possible.\n\nWith that said, here is my best answer to the common question of vaginal discharge.\nA normal vaginal discharge consists of about a teaspoon (4 ML) a day that is white or transparent, thick to thin, and odorless. This is formed by the normal bacteria and fluids the vaginal cells put off. The discharge can be more noticeable at different times of the month depending on ovulation, menstrual flow, sexual activity and birth control.\n\nIt is not uncommon for the normal discharge to be dark, brown or discolored a day or two following the menstrual period. \nIf you are having ANY of the symptoms below SEE YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.\nPain\n\nItching\n\nDiscomfort\n\nRash or sores alone or with a vaginal discharge

you might have an allergy to latex. latex is a common allergy.\n \nor it could be the spermacide that was on the condom that you are reacting to.\n\nor ask your partner if he has an std or if there is any risk that he may have been exposed to one (he may not know he has an std).\n\nor it could be something like a yeast infection. yeast infections are really common too and often go undiagnosed.\n\nyou should go to your doctor to confirm a yeast infection. you can either get a prescription to cure it or go with the over the counter medications. these work well too.\n\nbut definitely go to the doctor to know for sure what has affected your vagina.

Why is your "female friend" telling you this? eww.. anyways.\nIt's probably a yeast infection, but she is the one that needs to find that out, you can't tell her or diagnose her thru a computer.

It sounds like friction rub.  You are not lubricated sufficiently and it is irritating those tender tissues in your genital area.  Look in Walmart for a vaginal lubricant.  See if that helps.  Make sure his hands are clean before he touches you there too.  You can get some nasty infections if they are not clean.

Could be several things: You and your partner could be passing this back and forth to each other.  If so, you both have to be treated.  Or, you have systemic yeast infection, which means it is present throughout your body.  If this is the case, you need to quit eating sweets, bread and anything yeasty and treat it by seeing you Dr. for Rx.  There is an oral med called Diflucan that requires a Rx; you only take 1 a week x 2 weeks.  Then go to a good health food/products store and ask for Acidopholous capsules and Pau d' Arco.  The Acid. will help restore your normal body environment and PdA will keep the yeast at bay by also providing the proper balance of nutrients to keep your immune system strong.  But if you are having unprotected sex, this is one of the risks you take and certainly not the biggest of your worries. See your Gyn. Dr. about this.

I assume your mean vaginally? Don't worry about it. Its and indicator of your body being fertal. Basically its your hormones during your normal cycle getting ready should your have sex. that discharge is mucus that your body makes to help sperm go where they are supposed to go. It will lessen in a few days. There just shouldn't be any oder. If thats the case you may have a yeast infection. hope this helps. read up on the body's hormone cycle. Every woman should know about their body

I am like yeast infection prone. Usually you will get an increase in discharge and you might feel a little raw down there. Then the discharge will get really thick and sorta look like cottage cheese. Yeah I know its gross! It will itch soooo bad that you just wanna take a brush down there and go at it. I wouldnt recomend doing that though. There are many reasons woman get yeast infections. Some antibiotics can cause them. You can also get them from too much sex and not rinsing soap off very well. The best thing you can do is go to the drug store and get Monistat one day. Its more expensive than the 7 or 3 day one but it will clear it up a lot faster. Also, for the itching you could use Vagisil. Personally, I am allergic to it but it is suppose to help with the itch. If it feels like it burns when you put it on dont use it. Keep everything clean and dont itch because it will cause infection to get worse and you can cause a skin infection as well. If all of this doesnt work for you, you can call your dr and he will perscribe you a nasty tasting pill. I hope I could help.

Itchy down there, too moist, with white residue.  Hot feeling (not in a nice way).  I hear plain yogurt is a good home remedy.  I haven't had one in forever, but last time I used monistat 3 (I don't trust the 1 day, and 7 days is too long).  Good luck with that ;-)

Hi ... well I wont say a thing for the fact that you are looking so closely .. thats your own business, but if you suspect possible cheating .. I cant tell yo many people do the underwear sniff test ... as bad as that sounds.\n\nWomens Vaginas discharge during the day .. I know its not pretty .. some days its not much some days it more.. also is a hormonal thing .. and if your in the process of ovultaing ... a 2 - 3 day period the consitency is different .. sometimes clear, sometimes yellowish ..\nIt could be from a yeast infection .. also .. \nwho knows...\nI believe in honesty .. I would ask ...\nIt would be hard to tell if it was from sex .. as sweat always seems to have that distinct sex smell anyway ..\n\nUnless you suspect funky business I would say its quite normal and most women find it embarssing and hide it from the partners ... but in ur case ur doing the laundry \nhope that helps...
