Is my vaginal irritation and discharge a yeast infection?

Patient's Query

I have been having itchiness and irritation in vaginal area for 4-5 days. And cottage cheese like discharge without smell. I have been using warm salt water to wash the area and my clump discharge now changed to sheet like discharge without smell. But still irritation is there. Is this yeast infection. Am i getting better or worse?

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

It sounds like you may be experiencing a vaginal yeast infection, characterized by irritation and the type of discharge you’ve described. The warm salt water may provide temporary relief, but it's essential to treat the underlying cause. Over-the-counter antifungal treatments can be effective. However, since symptoms persist, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A doctor can provide personalized care and ensure you're on the right track to feeling better.

My vagina has small white patches all around the inside and I burning so so bad and even when I pee as well, I can hardly even wipe when I use the toilet. The discharge is thick.

Female | 17

It could be a yeast infection. In cases of the yeast infection, the white patches, anal burning, and thick discharge would be among the main symptoms. They happen when there's too much yeast in the vagina. If the common problem is treated with over-the-counter antifungal creams and pills, it will possibly be resolved. Make sure that you wear only cotton underwear and that you stay away from scented products. Drink plenty of water and stay away from sweet foods to heal it.

Hi I'm bleed from my hemorrhoids the bleeding is very light and only when I wipe is it safe to still have vaginal sex

Female | 45

If you are light bleeding from your hemorrhoids, it is better to not practice vaginal sex for now. Hemorrhoids can result in small amounts of bleeding, and intercourse may exacerbate the situation. Taking a break from sex will allow your body to heal for a while. Keep the area clean and think about using over-the-counter creams for relief. If it turns out that the bleedings last longer or gets worse, it is wise to see a doctor.
