Thick, clumpy, white: Typically a vaginal yeast discharge is clumpy, thick, and white and is associated with itching and redness of the vagina and vulva. Bacterial vaginitis discharge may be more yellowish, frothy and thin and have a sl. Odor. Don't rely on these descriptions to self diagnosis although a yeast infection can frequently be successfully treated with an otc remedy.
