A member asked:

Do yeast infections smell bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast Infections: Yeast infections can smell fishy, tart, foul, but it depends on your bodies reaction to it. Yeast infections will make you discharge a lot and the discharge can look yellow in color or white and curdled looking.
