Discharge: It certainly could be a yeast infection, but it also could be from other causes.  In my practice, if you have never had this kind of discharge I recommend you be seen so we can evaluate it and see exactly what it is.  If we have treated it before then we will treat it without checking.  Therefore since you have not had it before you need to be evaluated.
