Does Vaginal Itching And Grey Discharge Indicate Yeast Infection?

I am 17 and weight 115 i am 5"8. I have no history of medical illness. My vaginal area is itchy, only sometimes. It is itchy on the inside and out. I have experienced cloudy grey discharge and thought perhaps it is a yeast infection. However, my period is coming next week and i am a ballet dancer which means i wear leotard and tights everyday-is it possible i have a yeast infection or something else?

Hi i did review your concern.
mild amount of whitish discharge is a normal finding in young female. however if the discharge has recently increased in amount and also has a bad odour it can be due to candida infection or bacterial vaginosis or it can be due to trichomoniasis.
I would recommend to consult a gynecologist and get treated under guidance after proper pelvic examination.
The treatment generally consist of antifungals like fluconazole or itraconazole locally or orally and metronidazole orally .

I hope this helps.
Wish you all the best.
