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.

It might be a low-grade yeast infection.  You can try an OTC product, but if it doesn't help, you may need to go to a doctor and get a culture & exam done.  \n\nAnd that would be vaginal pain and not pregnant, BTW.

Symptoms of a UTI are burning with urination, frequent urination, urgency and possibly foul smelling urine or blood in your urine.  A  yeast infection has cottage cheese type discharge, severe perineal itching and an odor of fresh baking bread aka a yeasty smell.

Any antibiotic has the potential for causing a yeast infection.What happens is the anti.not only kills the bad germs it also kills the good germs that protect our body.Yeast infections are a common complication.You usually will also burn and itch in your vaginal area.Go to the drugstore and purchase monistat vaginal cream and use it the full seven days.Usually cost less than 10 dollars or you can go to the doc and get a pill if you prefer that instead.Zithromax is an excellent antibiotic

A lot of symptoms may be because of hormonal changes in your body.  It may also be that you will be or are on your period.  If you are getting discharge in your underwear, beware of a yeast infection or stds.  \n\nAs long as you are getting your period, then you are not pregnant.  If you are worried, check with a doctor.

Fungal infections will generally show signs, such as flaking skin, red and swolen skin, discolored skin, ect.\n\nBacterial infections will usualy not show in such dramatic ways; signs of typical bacterial infections are increased body temprature, shivering, soreness around the affected area, stinky smell from wound, ect.

Are you sure it really is a Yeasty? I know that sounds crazy to ask but recently someone discovered that less than 30% of the women buying OTC yeast treatments did NOT have yeasties.\n\nMost women do not realise that it is NORMAL & HEALTHY to have a vaginal discharge. During the first few days after AF stops you should be dry, but as teh hormones build up in your body you begin to produce a cervical fluid. As the hormones build up that will increase and for apx 5 days it will become slippery, clear, etc and you will be very fertile. After this it will often dry up again only to return and be creamy/pasty towards teh end of your cycle. So, many women believe they have a yeast infection at least once a cycle... and believe they have cured it b/c it goes away for a while just about 5 days after starting their treatment. All you have done is upset the PH ballance in your vagina - which will actually incourage a Yeast infection since Yeast is SUPPOSED to be there, but when you use antibiotics you ruin the balance of normal flora. \n\nYeast colonizes faster than other bacteria so you end up with more and more trouble with it the more you treat it. The best thing you can do to decrease the yeast so the other normal flora can reconolize and rebalance is to eat lots of yeast and eliminate (for a while) as much sugar as you can from your diet. (Yeast thrives on sugar) You should also be conscious of your inumity - lowered immunity allows the yeast to take over too & may be a first sign of HIV infection. If you take BCPs or use an IUD you will have far more incidence of Yeast Infections. Wearing tight or synthetic clothing that traps moisture in the urogenital area will encourage yeast too.\n\nIf you really do have a yeast infection you will have thick white crud that gets trapped in the folds of your labia while vaginal secretions do not get trapped easily. Yeast infections will ITCH! The odor is distinct and strong - it smells like beer or bread dough (both are yeast). You will also have a slight fever.\n\nAlso be aware that Yeast infections are not limited to the urogenital region... you can get yeast under artificial nails, in the skin, in your mouth, etc.

Depends on what kind of infection.  I would say the number one way to tell is if you have a strange discharge.  If it's a different color or texture and if it has a "fishy" odor.  If it's a yeast infection you will usually have a milky, thick, fishy discharge and it will sometimes itch or burn.

A smelly whitish discharge often accompanied by itching is a yeast infection and it's easy to treat with over-the-counter products such as Monistat.  If your friend is still concerned she should see her doctor.

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

The first symptoms tend to be either the development of Kaposi's Sarcoma, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (a rare kind of pneumonia that only affects immunocompromised people), and oral thrush (a yeast infection in the mouth). Also, having an illness that just won't seem to go away can be a sign. If you suspect you have AIDS, see a doctor right away.

Have you been checked out...just because its not itching or dsplaying any other annoying symptoms does not mean you dont have a common vaginal problem..or an STD... you could have anything from a common yeast infection, BV...to something more serious..the best thing to always do especially women if something is not "RIGHT" or different down there you may have a problem and if left untreated the results could threaten your life or the ability to creat life. We go through so many changes and each of us react to them in a different way some women are prone to symptoms while some can have an infection for months and not notice anything at all.....you are better off in the long run seeing a dr. even if it is nothing.

About three-quarters of the people with it don't know it.  If you have any symptoms at all they will appear about 1-3 weeks after exposure.  Early signs are vaginal discharge and burning or painful urination.
