vaginal

I have a vaginal odor.  It is somewhat "fishy" but not overwhelming , but is there enough to be noticable.  I do not have itching or burning.  But there is a discharge that is very white and thick, ( this is not my fertile time) so I dont think thats what it is. Could this be a yeast infection?

Doesn't like a yeast infection. The most common symptom of a vaginal yeast infection is extreme itchiness in and around the vagina. and you know, this can be easily treated by antibiotics or fuyan pill. Other signs and symptoms include: Burning, redness, and swelling of the vagina and the vulva. Pain when urinating. Pain during sex.

So I think you can make an appointment with your doctor, maybe there is nothing wrong with your vaginal, you know, our bodies have a natural way of cleansing by itself. good luck to you...

hi. it may/may not be  a yeast infection. usually a yeast infection has the white, lumpy discharge and the area is very itchy, irritated, red and can burn. also a fishy odor usually doesnt accompany a yeast infection but is a possible sign of vaginosis. you should see the dr. also, you really should not use a douche. that can push any bacteria further up causing more infection. our bodies have a natural way of cleansing itself. i also know eating yogurt works wonders for both conditions.

Hi No it doesn't sound like a yeast infection.You would know it,if you had one.All so the texture is different to the discharge it looks like cottage cheese.You can do a douche to help with the odor.If you feel you need to go to the doctor about this problem then do it.You know your body and how it feels.TNT406.
