Question 1

is it possible to have a yeast infection without discharge or odor?

Accepted Answer

No odor with v D/C: Symptoms of a yeast infection may include: burning, redness & itching of the vulva; burning with urination & vaginal intercourse & a clumpy, white, vaginal discharge with no odor. Sometimes the discharge isn’t apparent. 
 So in short: yes.

Question 2

can i have a yeast infection without knowing it? just finished meds for bv. and have heavy yellowish discharge.

Accepted Answer

Question unclear: You have symptoms which are not incompatible with yeast infection. If you are asking whether this could be due to yeast infection, the answer is yes, and antibiotics used to eliminate BV can increase the risk for secondary candidiasis. Go and get reexamined and treated if necessary.  Good luck.

Question 3

is it possible to have a yeast infection without the discharge? and can it cause bad itching & tiny papercut-like tears/cuts between the labia?

Accepted Answer

It may: All yeast infections do not necessarily have a discharge.  And the symptoms you describe, can be caused by an active, severe yeast infection.

Question 4

my discharge has smelt like yeast a couple of times in the past 3months but i havent had other signs of a yeast infection..do i have a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Wet Prep Needed: You may or you may not.  There are lots of non-infectious causes for vaginal odor as well.  However, I would strongly recommend being seen for an exam and a test called a "Wet Prep."

Question 5

i have a yeast infection. been on medicine for 5 days now.  now i notice that i have a brown discharge is that common.

Accepted Answer

No: Perhaps your problem is not from a yeast infection at all. See GYN to reassess.

Question 6

is it possible to get a yeast infection without discharge?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If it does not involve the vaginal barrel, the yeast infection can be without discharge on the mucous membranes of the perineum (labia, vulva) or the surrounding skin.

Question 7

does yellow discharge mean i have a yeast  infection with a small oder and a small tiny bit of iching?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Yeast can itch but usually no odor, and any discharge usually is scant and white. Colored discharge (yellow, tan, etc) suggests infection, such as an STD (gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas), although STDs are uncommon at your age. Odor can go along with bacterial vaginosis, i.e. overgrowth of normal bactera, or trichomonas. You need professional exam and treatment advice; see a doctor. Good luck!

Question 8

i have a lot of discharge coming out and it stinks, i am also very ichy. i think i have a yeast infection. what is the best treatment?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: See you doctor to make sure it is a yeast infection.  If so they can give you medicine to clear it and also look for reasons why you developed it and try to prevent it.  It is more common in people with uncontrolled diabetes or taking certain meds like birth control pills.

Question 9

i think i have a yeast infection but i'm not sure... like the past few days my vaginas been itching and i've had unpleasant smelling discharge?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Or may be bacterial vaginosis which is treated with metronidazole. To answer at your question if anything can be done about the shivering before sex-yes. The healthiest way would be to do some deep breathing to get urself more centered. Meditation in a way. Some people take medication like Xanax (alprazolam) or Valium.

Question 10

i have a yeast infection and i got home from gym, and did yard work and went to the bathroom and i had blood in my discharge. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Re-check with doctor: Yeast infections don't bleed, or only very rarely -- and only if the yeast is especially severe, with open sores. So the blood probably is unrelated to your yeast infection, assuming the yeast diagnosis is correct. You might recheck with your doctor whether s/he is confident about the yeast diagnosis, and also ask if you were tested for STD. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause vaginal bleeding.
