Discharge for a yeast infection is usually clumpy like cottage cheese. Some women also will notice itching and redness.
Because you have had it for a while and aren’t noticing any other symptoms it does sound like your period could be coming soon.
I know you are embarrassed to tell your mom about this but she really needs to know about this so that she can help you keep an eye on the situation.

How can you tell when I yeast infection is curing?
Question by Annie is okay but not us 🙁: How can you tell when I yeast infection is curing?
I’m a 14 year old virgin and I think I have a yeast infection because I had some itching and a little bit of a fishy smell. So I went to my doctor and he prescribed me this pill that I take orally.I took it about 2 hours ago and now my vulva is itching badly.Is this a sign that it is clearing up because it wasn’t itching before I took the pill and if not, then can you tell when it is curing?

Okay if you smell fishy that isn’t a yeast infection that’s something different like a Hygiene issue.
The itching is a symptom of a yeast infection. DO NOT SCRATCH IT.
If he gave you a diflucan or an antifungal pill it should clear up in a day or two.
KEEP THE AREA DRY AND CLEAN! This will help with the itching.
To prevent a yeast infection in the future eat a lot of yogurt, stay away from a lot of sugar, don’t wear your pants too tight and try to keep the area as dry and clean as possible.

I’m experiencing pain while urinating. How can I tell if it is from a yeast infection or a bladder infection?
Question by Lindsey C: I’m experiencing pain while urinating. How can I tell if it is from a yeast infection or a bladder infection?
So, I’m experiencing pain (burning) while urinating and some itching. How can I tell if it’s a yeast infection or a bladder infection? I’m not really sure how to tell the difference as the symptoms are similar. I’ve had both and I’ve been to the doctor (so please don’t just say, go see a doc) previously, but I’m still unsure how to determine which one it is.
Thanks.
ETA: I’m currently on my period, so it’s a little difficult to tell if I have any discharge (which is also why I was thinking it was a yeast infection-because I use pads as I get horrible cramps when I use tampons). Thanks for all your help!

If you have a yeast infection, you will notice a lumpy, yellowish discharge with a fishy odor. Yeast infections are most common either right before or just after your period due to the pH imbalance around your vaginal area.
A UTI (urinary tract infection) causes burning while urinating, and you feel the urge to urinate more frequently, but only actually pee a small amount.

How should I tell my OBGYN that I think I have a yeast infection?
Question by Cory: How should I tell my OBGYN that I think I have a yeast infection?
So I’m 18 and I think I have a yeast infection and I’m seeing my OBGYN tomorrow about my birth control. How should I bring up/tell her that I think I have a yeast infection. It’s kind of embarrassing having to ask if I have it. I’m too embarrassed to even tell my mom.

Just ask what the symptoms of a yeast infection are. They will explain it and then either ask why or wait for you to tell them you think you have one. They may or may not need to do an exam and take a swab, but they can also recommend some treatments that will help. Most are OTC
