Hi, I have itchy and feel uncomforting in vagina lately, and have strange, white secretion. Is it yeast infection or an Std?

Hi, yeast infection is caused by Candida, and is not related to sexual transmission. Actually, Candida is normally present in vagina and occasionally it can increase in number and become unpleasant. Try to apply some mild intimate wash lotions with appropriate pH of 3.5, in order not to disturb normal acid pH of vagina. Some antiseptic wash foam can also be used or prepare chamomile tea and use for disinfection. If you take any antifungal preparations, keep in mind that yeast can become resistant to it’s effects.
