Question 1

Yeast ?: Classically cottage cheese discharge indicates a yeast infection. You may be seeing the RePhresh gel but it is clear and usually completely absorbs. See a doctor for an exam and confirmation testing

If : If you are having recurring yeast infections then you need to make sure there are not any underlying conditions that are predisposing you to them. Certain conditions like diabetes, hiv/aids can be the cause. Don't worry there are other more likely causes, which include:
recent use of antibiotics
frequent douching
tight underware, usually non-cotton
prolonged use of sweaty clothes(i.e. After a work out)
pregnancy
birth control pills
hormonal imbalances

now on the other hand, this may not even be a yeast infection. Your doctor can perform certain tests to determine if you have yeast or even a bacterial infection. At times an allergy can mask itself as a yeast infection, so make sure you are not using any new, soaps, lotions, or detergents.

With the help of your doctor and a little more investigation you should be able to get to the bottom of this problem. Good luck!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Pee: Not sure what that smells like, but if discomfort during urination or is reoccuring, consult your doctor for urine testing.

Question 6

my vaginal discharge smells like cheese really strong smelling cheese. is that bad?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis?: The main cause of strong vaginal odor, sometimes with discharge, is bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of bacteria. The STD trichomonas causes the same odor, and other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia) are more common in women with BV. Your chosen topic tags show STDs are on your mind, so you're likely at risk. See a doctor soon for diagnosis, treatment, and STD testing.  Good luck!

Question 7

The only way to know the etiology and then the correct treatment is to see your Health Care provider, have an exam and lab analysis of the discharge to determine the treatment.

Question 8

i had my period but i smell things nobody else smells i had a grill cheese that smelt and taste like a hot dog. i smell all weird food. what's wrong??

Accepted Answer

ENT doc: By mentioning your menstrual cycle in relation to your sense of smell it sounds as though you think you may be pregnant. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy.  If negative schedule a visit with a ENT doctor to discuss your altered sense of smell. They can do an exam and testing.

Question 9

i've noticed a slight discharge from my nipple that smells similar to cheese... what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Breast discharge: I would tell any woman who experiences unusual breast discharge to make an appointment with her physician, and to be prepared to answer the following questions:
how much fluid discharge are you experiencing?
Does it happen in one or both breasts?
Does it come from one opening in the nipple or multiple openings?
Does it happen on its own, or only when the nipple is squeezed?
And others.

Question 10
