Do I Have A Yeast Infection?


Question:
Im not sure if I have a yeast infection but its really itchy in my vaginal area and i have sort of sticky white discharge that smells.Im not sure if I have a yeast in fection or not because I have tryed to treat it with over the counter medications from the drug store but it didn't seem to work...

Answers:
Just tell mom the truth. It sounds like a yeast, but you never know. Vaginal infections happen for all kinds of reasons, to all kinds of women. Itching, burning, thick, cottage cheese like discharge are all symptoms if a yeast infection. Been swimming? Is it hot where you live? Wear tight pants? Have you been on antibiotics lately? All of these things contribute to yeast infections. Don't be afraid to tell mom...She has probably had them. See your doctor, they will examine you and take a bit of a sample, then, be able to tell you what is wrong. There is an anti fungal medication out there called Diflucan, this is amazing stuff. Get an appointment as soon as you can, don't scratch very hard, use cool cloths to sooth the irritation and try to drink allot of fluids . Over the counter medications can sometimes help ease the irritations, but when they get so bad you can not stand it, you really should see your Doctor.
you should see a doctor, it sounds like it still could be a yeast infection which can sometimes need stronger treatment or it could be another type of infection such as bacterial vaginosis.
you need to go to the dr. asap, it is possible that it is a yeast infection or it could also be an std or some other infection
Sorry to tell you but you have a yeast infection. I know it sucks but it needs to be treated as SOON as possible. You might need to go to a gyno..
Good luck :(
