Usually : Usually once you have had a yeast infection you can identify another one. Therefore if you think it's a yeast infection go ahead and treat it with an over the counter yeast infection cream. If this does not work then you may be dealing with another type of infection (bacterial)and will need to see your doctor for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Take care.

Uncertain.: If it was not burning, might guess leukorrhea. I might also guess a yeast infection - but they are usually similar each time you have them. Assessment may help give you an accurate answer. Take care.
