"Female" problem - yeast infection?!

"Female" problem - yeast infection?

Please respond especially if you are a medical professional as I cannot be seen by the gynecologist until Monday.

I will list my symptoms and tell me if this is a yeast infection:

--first noticed white discharge
--next, itching and swollen vulva on one side
--after that, burning when I urinate
--swelling on vulva seems to have two tiny white bumps now that are painful when I pee
--foul odor

I started taking acidopholus pills today (took 2 so far) and how long will it take for these to work if it is a yeast infection?

it sounds like a bacterial infection and the doctor will give you flagyl or clindamycin to kill the bacteria for the infection. Acidophilus pills will take awhile to work. Get over-the-counter azoles (Clotrimazole works best) at the moment. Continue to take Acidophilus pills. You are doing the right thing by taking acidophilus pills continue to take them. Please don't hesitate to go to the emergency room if it becomes progressive. I know it's uncomfortable. The reason why I believe it's a bacterial infection is because you have a swollen vulva and two tiny bumps that are painful. That's an indication that is bacterial. If it gets uncomfortable please don't hesitate to go to the emergency room. And it also might be a uti, in which case he/she will give you the right antibiotic. Drink Cranberry pills and eat Activia.
