Avatar f tn hello...dosomebody kknow...diferents between-yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis?
Avatar f tn Your vagina should have a smell though, and you should become familiar with the normal smell so that you can tell in the future if it changes. Bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections can arise spontaneously, without sexual activity being involved. Did you check for a tampon? I know it's gross, but if that's your problem it should be an easy fix. You can put gloves on if you're really grossed out by the idea.
Avatar f tn The odor means the infection has not cleared up and you may need a different antibiotic, either pills and/or cream. You may have a propensity to yeast infections and adding cranberry juice or cranberry pills and yogurt to your diet may also help but see the Dr. first to get this cleared up.
1847035 tn?1327274923 Well how exactly does it smell might sound weird but, yeast infections have a yeast/bread smell BV has a fishy smell.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had multiple yeast/BV infections? I've had 3 so far and I think I'm having another! I'm going to ob tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get some meds. It's frustrating. Anyone Else?!?! Please help.
Avatar f tn im 18 ive only had on sexual partner and i have a light vaginal discharge with a smell,i have no itching swelling or anything like that. i went to the doctor and she gave me a cream and said that sometimes its normal to have vaginal discharge she gave me a seven day cream for yeast infections.My bf went down on me and i was wondering if anything can happen to him?.the smell has gone away since i started applying the cream and it wasn't a transmitted yeast infection but i was worried.
Avatar f tn A major risk factor of bacterial vaginosis is unprotected sex when you have a sensitive vagina, as a penis that has been several places can cause an infection that is not an STD. Yeast infections, for the most part, do not have a fishy odour. The odour means that it is probably a bit more than just yeast.
603473 tn?1219953411 get upset all the time, e.g. too dry, itchy, bladder infections, yeast infections from medication, birth control issues, and on and on and on... Women know this, even if they don't always know how to best handle it or receive news regarding it. If she's a reasonably mature woman, she'll care about her health and take the comment in stride. If you're a reasonably mature man, you'll be able to express very clearly that it's not a rejection of judgment but concern for her.
Avatar f tn My 2 basset hounds have constant ear infections. I have spent hundreds of dollars at the vet, and nothing seems to help. they will clear up for a day or two, but them the awful smell comes back, and all of the dark brown smelly stuff too. I am a t my wits end, I must have used every treatment there was out ther. Any suggestions on how to clear these up. I know the dogs are miserable too.
Avatar f tn This is if it is a yeast infection. yeast infections are known for thick, cottage cheese like discharge, extreme itch and discomfort and a yeasty smell (not that unpleasant). Bacterial infections don't usually itch but have a foul odor. What doctors do is swab a patient and look at it under a microscope. They then can immediately tell what it is. If a doctor looked and said it is normal, well. What can I say. You can get a different opinion.
Avatar n tn sounds like you have a yeast infection definitely go to the dr and get examined and they will give you an antibiotic for it but also make sure you consume yougart while on the meds because it will destroy the bad bacteria and the good in your stomach that you need to fight other infections or bad bacteria that can be present when we eat or drink anything now adays. good luck!
999560 tn?1262998155 i had decided to address the problem as a yeast type infection because of its character. yeast infections can effect the whole of your body.. but are usually only of notice in a couple places. hopefully i dont have to expand on that fact.. lol.. anyway, that being said, my research provided me with info that proved to be a cure for females with yeast infections and so i applied the same remedy to the nasal passages of my nose. it worked! so what you may ask was the remedy? it was garlic.
Avatar f tn That is really the only way you are going to find out what the smell is from. Yeast infections tend to have an odor like bread or beer, while bacterial infections have more of a fishy odor. If it's a bacterial infection then trying to treat it as a yeast infection will not work; therefore, it is best to see a gynecologist so they can treat it appropriately. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn t doctors but it does sound like could be an infection, having a lot of sex can actually cause infections like yeast infections and all that best thing to do is like it was already said but check in with a doctor they do make over the counter medicine for yeast infections at wal mart and that if u decide to try that i was told (by a doctor) to do the 3 day and make sure its taken care of..
Avatar f tn Most likely is an yeast infection, though keep in mind for the future too that a yeast infection won't always have a smell to it.. Pregnancy makes you more prone to yeast infections. Another possibility could be an std? I've never had one, but I think that maybe could be an indication to one. You should get checked out by your doctor..
Avatar f tn I have a yeast infection and it doesn't smell at all. It's itchy and white, mine wasn't even bad, just itchy but I know it can get almost cottage cheese like. If you have any discomfort or change in discharge, talk to your doctor!
Avatar f tn A URINARY tract infection can change the color of our urine and make it smell VERY strong, but of urine, not onions. But you say this odor is coming from your vagina which could indicate a yeast infection. In my 64 years, I've had quite a few yeast infections, but none of them smelled like onions. I don't EVEN want to say what they smelled like, but onions would smell sweet comparably! Do you have a discharge? Is your period late? Any pain or fever or cramping?
Avatar f tn If its fishy or gross smelling it could be a bacterial infection. Yeast infections can smell like bread but they itch so horribly bad you'd probably know if you had one. I'd talk to your doctor, they'll probably just swab you and test for any infections. Better safe than sorry.
Avatar f tn Antibiotics are exactly what they are called, they get rid of bacteria (good or bad) and can lead to infections like UTI's or yeast infections like thrush, if you're experiencing a burning itchy sensation around the opening of your vagina along with dry vaginal discharge that looks like rolled up tissue paper around the folds, I'd say it's yeast, if it's burning when you pee, a funny smell or cloudy urine if say it's a UTI, both can be found in a normal urine test from yo
Avatar f tn m 14 weeks and just now discovering smell down there. I took at least two showers a day before the pregnancy, still do, but I seem to get a minor smell. I changed my soap to the regular white dove bar and now waiting to see if this makes a change. My question is... Is this apart of pregnancy or is there any suggestions for the best soap ????
Avatar f tn high levels of simple sugars, processed foods and simple carbs can be a contributor to yeast infections. Some food allergies can also cause yeast infections. Sexual transmission: men CAN have yeast infections (their doctors may call it "jock itch" which can make it tough for a guy to even know he has a yeast infection), and women who are sexual partners can also transmit them between each other.
1241045 tn?1268250883 If she is getting yeast between her toes that does sound like she is allergic to something. Maybe first try to just change her dog food and remember to do it by adding the "new" a little at a time to the dog food she is now eating and then do away with it completely and keep her on the new food and see if there is change. You probably know switching dog food in too quickly causes diarhea (sp?) Good luck, MO oops, I just read you already tried switching dog food.
Avatar n tn Not all yeast infections have the same regular symptoms that you think they would. Usually though, if you have a discharge that has a foul smell, that suggests a bacterial infection, which usually needs to be treated with antibiotics. Bacterial infections can also have a discharge, that unlike a yeast infection is usually more yellow or green in colour. Yeast infections are said to have discharge that looks more white and clumpy. I would go back to your doctor.
