| Thrush is the second most common cause of a vaginal discharge. (The most common cause of vaginal discharge is bacterial vaginosis.) The discharge is usually creamy white, but is sometimes watery. It can cause itch, redness, discomfort, or pain around the outside of the vagina. Sometimes symptoms are minor and clear up on their own. Often symptoms can be quite irritating and will not go without treatment.
Thrush does not damage the vagina, and it does not spread to damage the uterus (womb). If you are pregnant it will not harm your baby. ...that sounds exactly like it..aw dam it lol |

more people than you know put up with yeast infections longer than you think. some find it embarrissing. Some people don't have the itching and the buring all the time and sometimes it can come and go. if you dont' take care of it right away it can seem to dissapear but it really hasn't. Also if it's not taken care of you and your partner may pass it back and forth. Not a good thing. laura love, go have it checked out and make sure thats all it is. |

| This is a personal question (but, hey, we just had a post about it!) But do you shave were you are having the irritation? I sometimes have some irritation and itching when the hair is growing back. Just a thought. I just find it really hard to believe that you have been living with a yeast infection for that long! |
