If it's a yeast infection plain/unflavored yogurt, iserted like the creams you buy over the counter. Do it before you go to bed so it stays in longer. Wear a pad to catch what doesn't stay in, and take a shower in the morning. You can also rub small amounts on itchy spots, just like the creams.

you need to see a doctor.... a number of things could be wrong.  something as simple as a yeast infection or something more serious.

I agree with Mohamed!\n\nI would like to add that you can use a vaginal douche. Try to use water only.  It empties out the excess discharge.  Try not to use it too often.  You don't want to eliminate the "good" bacteria.  That could lead to infection.\n\nIf you take a bath, lie down as much as possible and with your finger, try to clean your insides a bit.  That usually fixes the problem.

Go see the doctor.  It is probably not a yeast infection.

I believe the virus is called vaginitis.  It can be cured with medication.  You could just have a mild UTI.  I would definitely go to the doctor.

It sounds like some kind of vaginal discharge. Since you haven't had sexual contact, I doubt it's something serious. It's most likely some kind of vaginosis, which is an imbalance between good bacteria that live in the vagina. I'd go to a Dr. and get it checked as you usually need a prescription to get it taken care of.

nVarious conditions, such as bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease (STD), can cause vaginal symptoms similar to those of a yeast infection. If you need help determining which condition you have, \n\nWhat is a vaginal yeast infection?\nA vaginal yeast infection is an excess growth of yeast cells in the vagina. Yeast infections are very common in women of childbearing age but can occur at any age. Although they can be uncomfortable, vaginal yeast infections rarely lead to serious health problems.\n\nWhat causes a vaginal yeast infection?\nA healthy vagina normally contains many bacteria and small numbers of yeast cells. The most common bacteria found in the vagina, Lactobacillus acidophilus, help prevent other organisms, such as yeast, from growing in excess and causing an infection. About 70% to 90% of yeast infections are caused by a strain of yeast called Candida albicans. 1, 2 \n\nWhen there is a change in the normal balance of organisms in the vagina, yeast can overgrow, causing symptoms. This imbalance can be caused by many factors, including use of broad-spectrum antibiotics for other conditions, high estrogen levels (as during pregnancy or hormone replacement therapy), or certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or HIV infection. \n\nWhat are the symptoms?\nThe most common symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are: \n\nVaginal itching. \nIrritated genital skin. \nPain or burning in the genital area with urination or sexual intercourse. \nIn some cases, white vaginal discharge that is usually curdlike and odorless. Some women have no noticeable discharge. \nSymptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are more likely to occur during the week before a menstrual period.\n\nHow is a vaginal yeast infection diagnosed?\nVaginal itching and a white vaginal discharge that is odorless and looks like cottage cheese are classic signs of a vaginal yeast infection. However, it's easy to misdiagnose a vaginal infection. If your symptoms are not typical of a yeast infection, you aren't certain of your diagnosis, or you're pregnant and have symptoms, see your health professional. A vaginal exam and possibly a culture of vaginal discharge can help diagnose whether another type of organism is present.\n\nHow is it treated?\nA vaginal yeast infection is usually treated with a vaginal antifungal cream, tablet, or suppository for several days. While some women prefer taking a tablet by mouth, oral treatment may be reserved for recurrent infection that may be caused by yeast throughout the body. This is mainly because oral medication affects the entire body, and vaginal treatment limits its effect to the genital area. Oral antifungal medication can cause side effects such as headache, nausea, and abdominal pain; vaginal treatment is unlikely to cause side effects. \n\nNonprescription vaginal medications are available for treating vaginal yeast infection; vaginal boric acid capsules are another option. If you have had a vaginal yeast infection before, are not pregnant, and are certain your present symptoms are the same as during the previous infection, you can self-treat your infection. If you have a yeast infection that keeps returning despite treatment, see your health professional. A recurring yeast infection can be a sign of another health problem. \n\nYeast infections are common during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, do not use any medication without first discussing your symptoms with your health professional. \n\nCan vaginal yeast infections recur?\nYes. A yeast infection is considered to be recurrent if you have four or more infections that cause symptoms and are unrelated to antibiotic use within 1 year. Severe or persistent yeast infections are a problem for about 5% of affected women and can be related to diabetes, pregnancy, or another health condition. 2 \n\nIf you have a recurrent vaginal yeast infection, your health professional may do a culture to confirm that yeast is present. You may

PSS....IMPORTANT....IF YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE..IT WOULD BE CHEAPER!  IF YOU HAVE A DOLLAR STORE OR KAISER PHARMACY...GET IT THERE. STUFF IS EXPENSIVE.......NEW INFO I suffered from this as well. It's either gardnerella or a yeast infection. Both are very similar in many ways. See a doctor, go to a free clinic whatever. If you have an active sex life, your partner can be treated as well! If they are not treated, they will just give it right back to you!  Also, after 4-5yrs of this crap, I found that using DOVE WHITE(unscented,no dyes). And, I have had to cut out baths! Good luck!!!!

Tell her: \nCotton underwear, loose pants, drink cranberry juice, go easy on the junk food, particularily anything sweet or superfatty, wash with mild soap and water, but do not wash inside the vaginal canal, she could upset the PH balance even more. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria, it is a very easily upset balance. Also, if she is using tampons, get the unscented ones and only as absorbent as she needs them. If she is sexually active, the activity needs to end until she is cleared up.\nTry getting a tube of Vagisil instead of just the wipes, and go to a doctor. She should only use medications or treatments if a doctor has diagnosed it as a yeast infection.

First of all this is not an std. It just happens and is no big deal. It will not just go away and the odor, discharge etc can only get worse.  It is easily treated with metrogel or oral antibiotic. You have to distinguish it from other infections that can be more serious. i wonder how you received the diagnosis without being treated. BV with group B strep becomes a problem if you are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant. Otherwise, it is as I said no big deal and easily treated. If you are shy about going to a doctor, find a good woman ob/gyn. Good luck.

Most (95%+) vaginal odor is caused by an infection called "gardnerella" which causes bacterial vaginosis. While this infection can be passed between partners, it is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is one of the chief causes of vaginal odor. This odor may become more pronounced after having sex and is fishy in nature. This is the most common type of vaginal odor. \n\n\nVisit your Obstetrician/gynecologist

Without a wet prep it would be impossible to tell you what sort of infection you have, unfortunately.   Bacterial vaginitis is simply an irritation of the vaginal canal, and doesn't mean any specific kind of bacteria was identified.   It could well be trichinosis, as that is what it usually sounds like complaint wise, except for the itching which usually also accompanies it.  It could be caused by any number of bacteria, though, and only the exam can give you a final answer.   Of course, you know the lecture you are going to get about using a condom.  But it is the best way to protect yourself from this sort of experience in future.  Repeated vaginal infections eventually can cause cervicitis, the inflammation that is often a precursor to cancer or other nasty changes in smears.  Take care of yourself, insist your partners wear condoms until you are absolutely sure.  These days you just can't be too careful.  In the meantime, make yourself as comfortable as you can.  Stick to the all cotton undies, avoid pantyhose, and make sure you launder it all in hot water and bleach.  Those that can't do a hot wash should be microwaved damp to be sure you kill all the little buggers hanging around.  Your partner will also need to be informed and probably treated as well, so you might want to give him some notice on that now.\n  Like as not it's just a routine bacterial infection, easily taken care of with a round of antibiotics or a cream.   You already know that drill, and this won't be any different.   With luck, by Monday you will know the answer for sure, and by Wednesday should start to note improvement.

Clindesse is prescribed for bacterial vaginosis.\n\nThe cause of BV is not fully understood. BV is associated with an imbalance in the bacteria that are normally found in a woman's vagina. The vagina normally contains mostly "good" bacteria, and fewer "harmful" bacteria. BV develops when there is an increase in harmful bacteria.\n\nNot much is known about how women get BV. There are many unanswered questions about the role that harmful bacteria play in causing BV. Any woman can get BV. However, some activities or behaviors can upset the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina and put women at increased risk including:\n\n    * Having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners,\n    * Douching, and\n    * Using an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception.\n\nIt is not clear what role sexual activity plays in the development of BV. Women do not get BV from toilet seats, bedding, swimming pools, or from touching objects around them. Women that have never had sexual intercourse are rarely affected.\n\nI've included a link to tell you more about it and a link regarding the safety of Clindesse.\n\nI've also included a link to an alternative medicine method of treating this in the future (I don't believe in conventional medicine with all its side effects)

It's generally related to a condition known as "bacterial vaginosis."  There is treatment for this condition (certain antibiotics), but the condition may recur.  Maintaining a healthy diet and ingesting live yogurt cultures (lactobacillus) is reported to help.
