Q: yeast infection and discharge

Embarassed I think i may have a yeast infection but I have not yet got anything for it or saw a doctor. I am sexually active and have been with only one partner. I have had symptoms of a yeast infection before but they went away except one-dischrage. Now just yesterday after intercourse I had like a tan like color discharge. i've had brown dischrage before before or after my period but this was lighter. I want to go get something for this infection like the monistat pill but what I would like to know is is this something worse than a yeast infection? If so what should I do?

A yeast infection smells... well, yeasty. Like you are baking bread in your undies. It also itches to high freaking heaven!

You might have something other than a yeast infection. You should never assume discharge is a yeast infection and treat for yeast, it could be something entirely different.

Go see a doctor.

i second that. get it checked out before you treat it. its possible to take away the symptoms without taking away the infection if its not a yeast infection.
