Answers:
I found theese for you on vaginal discarge from MedLine - http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/...
These conditions can lead to abnormal vaginal discharge:
Vaginal yeast infection -- Technically not an infection, yeast that normally live in the vagina overgrow, causing a cheesy white discharge with redness and itching. Vaginal yeast infections may be related to antibiotics, birth control or other estrogen pills, pregnancy, diabetes, or a weakened immune system.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) -- Bacteria that normally live in the vagina overgrow, causing a grey discharge and fishy odor that worsen after sexual intercourse. BV is not sexually transmitted.
Trichomonas ("Trich") -- A sexually-transmitted parasite that causes yellowish-grey or green discharge and intense itching.
Other infections and sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia or gonorrhea.
Forgotten tampon or foreign body.
Cervical or vaginal cancer -- rarely a cause of excess discharge.
What have you tried for treating the yeast infection? The choice of an over-the-counter product depends on your preference for cream versus tablet, length of treatment (one, three, or seven days), and cost. Examples of these products include butoconazole (brand name Femstat), clotrimazole (Mycelex, Gyne-Lotrimin), and miconazole (Monistat).
I know from reading online and talking with my DR that you should be eating lots of yougurt with active cultures in it and drinking cranberry juice (its not just for urinary tract infections). Just make sure it is 100% real juice not juice coctail it wont help you any. If you do not get any relief in a few days or start experiencing any pain or a low grade fever contact your Dr immediately. It may be a bit more serious than just a yeast infection. Hope you feel better soon! Lots of Hugs.
