Hi I am a nurse so I thought id answer your question. It sounds like you have thrush from the discharge that you have described. You can get stuff over the counter for that in a pharmacy.

My question to you though is have you recently had unprotected sex? If you have you need to go and see your doctor. Both Chlamydia and Gonnorhoea are STI's that can change the amount and consistancy as well as odour of vaginal discharge. There is also the possibility that it is bacterial vaginosis which is a bacterial infection of the vagina not sexually related. All three of these conditions are quickly and easily treated with a course of antibiotics and are extremley common.

babymama99 agony auntIt does sound like a yeast infection. if it is your first time you should have a doctor diagnose it as such. after that a round of the over the counter medication Monistat 7 or Monistat 3 uaually work for me.

Cottage cheese discharge is a CLASSIC symptom of a yeast infection. Go to your gyno and she'll do a quick painless test to be sure.

Go see a gynecologist, but see a good one. I went to one that told me to dig the stuff out in the bathtub. I was only middle school age, so I didn't know that I could have gotten these people to be more professional or sued.
