No: That type of discharge most commonly associated with yeast infection (or overgrowth of normal yeast) in the vagina. If it has not happened again, then good for you. If you should notice it again then best to be evaluated as other things could be in play other than yeast infection. Hope this helps. Best of luck. Dr R

Maybe yeast infex.: A "cottage cheese" vaginal discharge is what is classically seen during a yeast infection and may not always have itching or pain, at least if it is early. However, if the discharge resolved and none of those symptoms appeared, it may be a variant within the range of normal or your body took care of it itself. If your symptoms worsen, consult your doctor.
