Only a doctor can tell for sure if you have a yeast infection by taking a swab and run some tests. Most of us can sometimes tell by the feel, look, and smell that you have a yeast infection. If your symptoms don't match this list, or you are confused or uncertain, go see your doctor if at all possible.
It feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. This itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone sit still or concentrate on anything.
It looks like clumpy white stuff. Most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear.
It smells like bread or beer. In fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast.
There are other types of infections that can sometimes infect your vagina and vulva and it's helpful to know the symptoms of all of them so you can be really sure before you go treat yourself for a yeast infection you might not have.
A bacterial infection of the vagina can feel a lot like a yeast infection if the vulval area is itchy or painful. Unlike a yeast infection, the discharge can be dark yellow, green, or brown and it won't smell like bread, it can smell like fish or something rotting. If you think you might have a bacterial infection, or if you're not sure, get I would recommend going to see your doctor as this has to be treated with prescription antibiotics.
Urinary tract infections (UTI's) are due to bacteria infecting the urethra rather than the vagina. UTI's can be fairly easily distinguished from vaginal infections by a host of symptoms, including pain or burning when urinating, blood or mucus in urine, needing to urinate often, pain or pressure in back or lower abdomen and a fever or chills. If you think you might have a UTI, don't delay, go see your doctor, because the infection can travel up past the bladder, causing kidney damage.
Another type of infection called trichomoniasis is caused by a parasite that can infect both the vagina and the urinary tract, and is primarily sexually transmitted. If you have a trichomoniasis infection, your vagina can be itchy or painful, it can hurt to urinate, intercourse can be painful, and occasionally you can experience pain in your lower abdomen. Again, you have to see a doctor to get antibiotics to treat this.
I would recommend you see your doctor just to rule out any other infections and to get a proper diagnosis and proper treatment.
Good luck :)
First of all get to a doctor and get some blood tests. Are you over weight? Be sure to have a blood test you may be diabetic.
It could be yeast...a bad yeast infection, but sounds more like one of the other STDs....esp Trich. Go to one of the free health dept or clinics for a check and they will give you the appropriate treatment after doing a wet prep (a test of the discharge).
the obvious thing you should do is see your doctor. yeast infections are nothing to be laughed at. they are very serious infections, that can travel throughout the body. there is obviously some thing more wrong with you. this isn't something that you have to think over, this is something that you must do a.s.a.p good luck
Go see your doctor.
You probably need antibiotics.
Yes its from the irritation you need to get medicine so you it doesn't turn into a staph infection(very bad)or something else Do not use any kind of diaper rash medicine as that will not allow air to reach the skin and make the yeast grow more You can use some bacitracin or neospryn to keep it from getting infected and then get some Witch Hazel and put it in a squirt bottle to use after you pee instead of wiping just squirt yourself down there to keep clean and gently pat dry with a towel reapply the antibacterial if necessary. Go to the doctor on Monday and get it checked out and tell her what you have been treating it with and she will probably give you some stronger medicine. If at all possible while you are at home dont wear underwear so the air gets at it. I know its so uncomfortable but it will not last forever MAKE sure you go to the doctor
yes you have an infection of some kind so i would go to the doc asap and you need to be careful something is giving you the infection the sooner you figure out the cause the quicker you can cure it drink lots of water and try to use something like baby powder to help the sores until you see a doc PLEASE SEE ONE SOON!!!
