is this a yeast infection?!
Question: Is this a yeast infection?
I'm waiting at least a week of being off antibiotics, and if it doesnt go away then i will go to the doctor. I'm just not sure if this is a yeast infection per say? It's definitely NOT an std, so don't suggest that please. I also haven't used any new bath products/detergent. Thanks

It does sound like a yeast infection...but it would be best to go to the doc as soon as you get the first sign. Cause diflucon only works at the first signs of a yeast infection.

It sounds from the symptoms you’ve described, that you may be suffering from candida albicans or a “yeast infection”. There are many risk factors that could cause a yeast infection including: pregnancy, high-dose estrogen oral contraceptives, semen in the vagina can change the pH, diabetes (increased sugar in the urine), antibiotic therapy, receiving oral sex, or immunosuppressive therapy. It is important that you try to avoid wearing wet swimwear, non-cotton underwear, using dyed toilet paper, or douching; these are all factors that can alter the pH of the vagina and make the environment more favorable for a yeast infection.
Symptoms of a yeast infection may include a vaginal discharge (slightly watery, white, or even a thick substance), itching, burning/redness, pain with intercourse and/or painful urination. If this is your first experience with these symptoms, you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, less than 12 years old, have a medical disorder (diabetes or HIV), or are currently on antibiotics it is important that you seek assistance of a physician before treating yourself with an over- the -counter (OTC) product.
The most convenient and effective OTC treatment is a three-day product such as Monastat 3 Combination Pack. It is important that you avoid these products if you have a known history of a “azole” allergy. The primary ingredient in Monastat is a miconazole nitrate 2% cream and a suppository with 1200mg of miconazole. The directions are to apply the cream to the vulva twice daily as needed for itching and inserting the suppository into the vagina daily for three days. It is preferred to use this product at night after a shower, when you’re getting ready to go to bed. Side effects may include vaginal itching, burning or irritation, similar to the infection.
Other helpful nondrug therapies can include regular intake of yogurt and wearing clean, cotton underwear daily. Remember that during therapy for a yeast infection, you should refrain from intercourse and do not use tampons or douche during therapy either.
