We're about to go to the store... and I think I have a yeast infection. SOMETHING is going on. There's this horrible burning hot feeling at the entrance to my vagina, and sometimes it itches. It's REALLY uncomfortable. I know you're not supposed to medicate if you've never had one before, in case you're wrong... but I really hurt. It's annoying and horrible.
It doesn't hurt to pee, and I have no flu-like symptoms. It's just that horrible burn/itch. And my discharge doesn't look or smell weird. But I just knw something is wrong!
Yeah I think it could be yeast. It doesn't always smell and it may not at first. But the rest of you symptoms sound like it. And you don't have to get the mostt expensive meds. The generic ones work well too.
Eat yogurt. It helps clear it up. Thats why I do when I cant afford doctor visits or medication. I hope you're not vegan, otherwise my advice is shit.
you can take acidophilus (active good bacteria) or even silk soy yogurt.
or you can "shoot up" with yogurt. spoon some yogurt into the fingers of plastic gloves and throw them in the freezer. then nip the tip and squeeze. the yogurt with get the yeast and the cold with feel good on burning, red skin.

Thats an interesting idea, vegenglit.
Here's a good thread about yeast. Everyone had great ideas!

maybe we should consider the Got yeast, a sticky?

Yeah, giving yourself a yogurt "suppository" is supposed to help a lot by replacing helpful bacteria, but even if it doesn't it's just soothing anyway.
I'm like.. 100% positive it was a yeast infection. I bought monistat 3, the three day threatment. The night I got it, I could barely walk, I just BURNED so bad. It was all I could think about.
The next morning, it was a lot better. I still burned, but I could forget about it a lot.
Today, I haven't felt any discomfort at all! I have been obsessively checking my genitals, but other than looking red, they look alright... I just always thought I would get all this discharge with a yeast infection, and I haven't got ANY weird discharge... but it seems like the monistat is REALLY helping.
the last time I had a yeast infection I waited awhile because I'm pregnant and had to get ahold of my midwife to ask about treatments, which took awhile. She said any 7 day treatment, that the 3 day ones won't work during pregnancy.
And let me tell you, for some reason it fucking BURNED when I put that medicine in. OHMYGOD, it was painful. I looked at the package and saw that side effects were the temporary worsening of the symptoms--i.e. burning and itching. I dreaded it every time I had to use it. I was sooooo glad when it was over. It was awful.
