In Jan. i was treated for a bactieral infection. Every since then, my discharge has been thick white and a weird smell...not neccasarily bad...but just a weird smell...not like normal vaginal smell. Before my infection, I never had any weird problems w/ discharge or smells or feelin unclean "down there"...now Im very embarrased to let a guy go near that region and I feel unclean a few hrs after bathing. Does anyone know what this could be or have any kind of answers for me other than going to the gyno. anything would be helpful. Thanks

Hi sekzysuzy, welcome!

It sounds to me as though you might have a yeast infection. Thick white and sort of bread dough smelling discharge are the symptoms of a YI. You can get non-prescription YI treatment meds. at your pharmacy but you should have your condition diagnosed by a doctor first as using the wrong medicine can make things worse. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
