hello

Ok here's my problem? I have been having this itching around my vaginal area. There is no rash or redness. But, I am getting a thick white discharge. I am thinking it might be a yeast infection. Also i am taking birth control pills (marvelon 28), so i know it might come from that. What to you think i should do? Should i go buy an over-the-counter medication? Or, should I go the the ob/gyn???

Thanks for the help!!

Hi Hon,welcome!

I answered your post on the Birth Control message board, where I said:

"I agree with the other poster. It would be best if you have a proper diagnosis from your doctor so you know you are treating your condition with the correct medicine. A good article on Vaginal Yeast Infections is: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001511.htm

Thanks for posting. I hope you are feeling better soon. Let us know what your doctor says and how you're doing, ok?"

Hugs,

      Jill

I definitely had that and I went to the doc and it was a yeast infection. Get antibiotics from the doc not over the counter. They dont work

I agree with Jill and the other posters, the best thing you should do is go to the doctor for a proper diagnosis.
