Yellow discharge...

Hi guys,

A couple of days ago I started getting itchy and thinking I had a yeast infection. I've been on antibiotics for a sinus infection, and was on other antibiotics for sickness a couple of weeks before. Yesterday I went and bought the cream and tablet, and realised when I got home I was having yellow discharge, not at all like yeast. I've booked into the doctor, but would really like to know what I might be expecting to be diagnosed with. I'm sexually active and while the possibility of a STI is not awesome I think I can deal and would just really like to be better armed when I go in. I thought it might be BV but there isn't a hugely strong smell and it's very definitely yellow discharge. I'm my first month back on the pill.

Thanks superstars!

When I had a yeast infection from antibiotics, I got yellow discharge long before any cottage cheese stuff. I didn't really get itchy either, more sore.

The 3 day Canesten worked and got rid of it completely. If you think it's a yeast infection or are going crazy with the symptoms, try the OTC meds, they're not going to hurt you.

It's not itchy though, I'm pretty familiar with the itch, it's more just ... acidic and burny a bit? Thanks for the comment, it's good to know some people yet the yellow.

I never really had itching. It was burning and just uncomfortable, more than itchy and unbearable. Hopefully you feel better soon!
