    White discharge without itchiness?

    I've been on antibiotics a LOT lately (recurring UTIs, I'm being referred to a urologist though don't worry) and was told to be on the lookout for a yeast infection. I've never had one before, so I'm not sure what they're like. I've been downing as much yogurt with live cultures as I can to avoid it, though!

    I haven't felt itchy but I noticed just now that I have a white, somewhat clumpy discharge lining the insides of my labia. It doesn't smell fishy or yeasty, it smells like, well, my vagina.

    I've never noticed this discharge before and my boyfriend certainly has never mentioned it, but I'm worried that it's not normal. I feel particularly unclean, but I'm also worried it's some sort of infection. Any ideas?

    I just had a checkup and everything looked fine. I guess it was just a particularly gross phase of my cycle, which I've never noticed before.

    So, disregard. Is there any way to delete messages?

        Like I said above, the doctor told me it was just normal discharge and was just a part of my regular cycle. She even looked at it under a microscope to make sure, and it all checked out. She emphasized that if it were a yeast infection I would know without a shadow of a doubt. If there are no other symptoms other than discharge, it's more than likely normal.

        Maybe unpleasant for day or two, but normal.
