Doctor insights on: Milky White Discharge With Itching And Burning

Herpes? Other STD?: Any abnormal vaginal discharge requires medical evaluation. These symptoms are most consistent with genital herpes or a yeast infection. See a doctor ASAP. The diagnosis of herpes is most accurate and treatment most effective the sooner you are seen. You also need to be checked for other STDs, especially gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. Good luck!

Clear discharge: Most likely normal cervical mucous most commonly abundant at mid-cycle.

The one who...: ...Could correctly answer that question is the gynecologist who told you that the discharge is abnormal. It could be an std, vaginitis (an infection of the vagina), or yeast. S/he most likely took a sample and sent it for testing. I don't think a doctor is likely to tell you s/he found something abnormal and then not do anything to investigate. You need to follow up with him or her.

Vaginal Discharge: Often, white itchy discharge is from vaginal yeast infections, which can be treated with non-prescription anti-yeast creams (such as miconazole or clotrimazole), or with a one-dose pill called fluconazole (if not pregnant). Burning with urination raises concern for bladder infection, which can be treated with antibiotics. Several sexually-transmitted infections cause discharge, so get checked.

Vaginal pain causes: Causes of vaginal pain are varied. Irritation can result from infection, exposure to chemicals, or trauma related to tight undergarments or intercourse (especially if the genitals are not well lubricated). Burning, itching, and white discharge is a classic description of monilial vaginitis, more commonly known as a "yeast infection.". Over the counter creams are now available and effective.

White Discharge: Discharges always cause worry but they are not always serious. Most vaginal infections have burning and itching symptoms but redness of the tissues from inflammation.
