Discharge and odor is a sign of infection. Whether it be yeast or bacteria. Most women like to self diagnose and yell "Yeast", run to the store & purchase over the counter medicine. But I strongly advise against this. Depending on the yeast or bacteria, over the counter meds can cause it to be stubborn, resistent & harder to cure. Which means it will last longer & we don't want that do we!?! It is best that you visit your OBGYN & get a proper diagnosis & cure. Be sure to ask whether it is yeast or another strand of bacteria. Some doctors do misdiagnose. It is better to be safe than sorry & hope this helps.
