Doesn't sound like a yeast infection to me. You need to get checked by a Dr. before your symptoms get even worse.

Herpes hurts and itches at the same time.  It is clumps of raised tender blisters.  Yeast infection (from what I've experienced) can be cottage cheesy looking and smells bad.  I don't think either one of these could easily be mistaken for the other.  They are so different from each other.

I'm not sure of some of your symptoms.  But did the doctor prescribe you meds for bacterial vaginosis?  If so, and you took them, you COULD have a yeast infection that results after taking the antibiotics for BV.  But I don't know about the pain and bleeding you're talking about.  Please call your doctor to check that out.

sounds a lot like a yeast infection (although i haven't one to say from experience, it's just textbook symptoms) and not too much like herpes.
