i think it's only a yeast infection if it DOESN'T smell. That's what my doctor told me.

The person who is a "Nurse." working for a OB office, I would hate to have you as my RN, considering you cannot spell. And I have received antibiotics to prevent infection for a yeast. He's not completely wrong.

Also for those talkin about the yeast infection, once you have one you become prone to having more. i got my frist when i started the pill( the pill all on its own can cause a yeast infection because of the hormons in the pill) but any way i have struggled with them since... and yes every girl will probibly experience one. but u should take extra care once u get ur first one to stay dry! cotten underwear is a yeasts worst enemy!
ps in rare occasions men can get yeast infections or tranfer it so dont be active if you have one

Its probably just bacterial vaginosis which is all too common, so dont worry. But antibiotics are just a quick fix, the sypmtoms will come back as soon as there is an imbalance of bacteria again. And also antibiotics and medications destroy all the bacteria and thats no good. Your vagina is like your stomach. It has good bacteria and bad bacteria. And when there are more bad than good, the smells and discharge occurs. That being said the solution is the same as for stomach issues. YOGURT! You need the live cultures in yogurt to not only keep your stomach fluids balanced but your vagina as well. I tried it and its worked for me since. Try to eat some every day or at least every other day. Almost every ailment can be cured through diet, its all just the nature of things. Also dont douche, or if you have to, try to so less frequently. Douching flushes out the good bacteria with the bad, so its somewhat counterproductive. Hope this helps

To all of you. Be careful when recommending OTC meds for this issue. I have tried them in the past and it turns out I am very allergic. While it is not common it is still something that you should beware of.

First off he is right I am an Ob and we do give antibiotics for a yeast infection I give fluconazol for it its a small pink pill that you take one the firs day you get it and the other three days later and dont be alarmed hes right no need to worry follow up with your regular doctor and it will get taken care of in no time

Acctually.... everyones different... some discharge is white in general and this changes thruought your cycle. Even a little but if yellow us ok, discharge is, technically speaking, mucus. So a change in odor is a sign of infection but white color is not. Also with a yeast infection comes itching, burning,or redness. There are other types of mild infections that do not cause these side effects. Grey is a color to look out for as well as more yellow or green.

You don't have to be rude to him. And he might be right. My sister is a nurse and she says the same thing.

I have went to the doc and tested positive for BOTH BV AND YEAST!! The color was how you described. Thick yellow and white but it wasnt the classic curded discharge that is a giveaway for yeast.

Your PH BALANCE could be off causing BV. I started it as a teen and the doc couldnt find a thing wrong with me. Im 35 now and have been trying different things to help. It seems to get better right after my period but then gets worse. I have been using a Vaginal Wash like summers eve or EBAY has a PH balancing wash you can buy, I keep an old douche bottle to create my own baking soda and water solution to use as needed and the biggest thing is I take a PROBIOTIC at least twice a day. We also use condoms....which is just our preference but it does seem to help to keep problems and irritation at a minimum. From what I have read every woman is different and you just have to try different things to see what helps and causes it. I read one woman said if she eats to many cookies it flares up (due to the sugar) another said shes allergic to her partner. You could go to the doc and get meds but chances are it will come right back anyway.
