Yeast cream : Vaginal yeast cream is not dangerous for use. If you feel that you have a yeast infection it is reasonable to try and over-the-counter cream. If you are not certain and see your doctor and let them do testing to determine the cause and prescribed the proper treatment

I have a milky-like discharge that has little rolled tissue looking masses in it. There is a weird odor, not fishy, but not right. And there is sometimes itching and little specks of bleeding from the vulva area. I have tried yeast cream and bv treatment

A member asked:

Was taking Metronidazole for bacterial vaginosis but it caused severe itching and a foul odour. Does it mean I have a yeast fungal infection instead?
