Hi,
Yeast infection of vagina will have curdy white discharge and sometimes itching and sore.
Normal physiological discharge will be mucoid or egg white in nature.
Tirchomas and bacterial vaginosis will have an offensive odor discharge. Bacterial vaginosis will be more watery in nature and Trichomonas will be greenish white and frothy. Other gonococcal and chlamydial discharge will be pus like.
If there is foreign body or growth then the discharge will be more odorous in nature.
It is always better to consult your gynecologist and get your discharge examined in a laboratory, then take your treatment accordingly, you will be completely alright. Self medication will lead to complications.
Even if it is due to yeast infection, the correct dosage and duration of treatment also matters, which will be guided by your gynecologist.
Get well soon.
