Specializes in Family Medicine

Consider waiting a few days after finalizing treatment to see if the discharge clears up. Yeast infections should cause local irritation & itch. If you’re having discharge with no yeast symptoms, then formal testing would be a better approach rather than blindly treating with yeast medicine.
