If you are not sure,you need to see your doc.If you self treat a vaginal infection incorrectly,you can cause other types of infections.Once you know what the problem is,then it is okay to use otc remedies if it recurs.Good luck.Patty

Thanks patti!!
I will definitely make an appointment..This is all different to me..Back 15 yrs ago when I was married when I used to get yeast infections all the time..Thanks to my ex(need I say more?) itchy, burning and lots of discharge..This time the discharge is there but nothing other than my lower left side of my back hurting like probably in the kidney area is all I can say..And yes I did go out and buy the over the counter stuff, I will stop and make an appt..I'll let you know how I make out..
Thanks for your help!!!
