Infection?

This is a little gross, but I don't know if I might have something more than a yeast infection. I'm having a thick white discharge, almost like there were small clumps in my hair. I don't itch or burn, but it smells awful. It has just been today and I am just wondering if it's an infection or what. My bf gave me oral sex this weekend, so I maybe its in response to that? Any ideas?

Welcome!

A fould smell is usually indicative of a bacterial infection. This is something you can't treat with over the counter medication. Make an appointment ASAP with your doctor to get treatment. Don't worry. If it's a bacterial infection, it's totally curable.

Take care,

Kristin

Kristin is right.. you need to see the Dr.. It sounds like a yeast infection, but you could possibly have a bacterial infection with it. If the odor is "fishy" with any green discharge than its bacterial and an antibiotic is needed, if its just white and smells like bread than its a yeast infection. But I don't advice self diagnoses until you've had a few and know what it is for sure. Both are curable.. but not to be left untreated! and Yes the oral sex anc cause infections (of both sorts) believe me.. I know!!!

Good Luck,

Gin :)
