Vaginal itching? Yeast infection perhaps?

Question:

Well, I've been experiencing some pretty moderate vaginal itching for about 4 days now. As far as discharge goes, slightly thick and white. I looked up yeast infections and it said discharge is 'cottage cheese' like, (yuck btw) ... I don't see anything like that though. That doesn't necessarily mean I don't have a yeast infection right? Before it's said, I am STD free! And yes, I'm sure, hehe. Any imput would be appriciated. And yes, I know a doctor would be the best way to go other than an online diagnosis. Can I just go buy a yeast infection medication not knowing for sure that I have one? Any harm in that?

Answers:
it is better to see a doc cos it might not be a Yeast infection it can also be UTI or something else

Other Answers:
The harm is you could build resistence to the medication.
It really would only take a minute to go in and find out...
Usually itching means infection or yeast infection.

Sounds like a yeast infection to me.Go buy some meds.You can get it for as little as 5 dollars.

There is no harm in doing that, buy an package and just follow the direction.
I have treated my self many times, and the itching goes away. If it does not go away then you know that it is something else.
No harm in treating your self.
Good Luck

yes go to the local walmart and get gynolotramin about 20 bucks or less, and you will be fine in a few days. after that wash your hands any time you are touching yourself or letting anyone else touch you , and after, and are you diabetic? its really a common problem with us diabetics. if the gynolotramin doesnt cure it in however many days it says on the package, then its something else. but its likely the yeast, or candida which is its proper name.

Go ahead and get some monastat and treat youself and if it comes back inabout two weeks then you know it can be transmitted between partners.Then you go to the doctor and get some oral medication for you and your boyfriend.

go to the doc if you are nervous don't be.

:-) i say if you're std free you are safe to use monistat without worrying about it being anything else, and no, yeast doesn't build up a resistance to the cremes.....
