Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptoms you describe may not only be caused by yeast infection.It sounds like a sexually transmissible infection(STI). you will need STI work-ups like syphilis test, herpes test, a vaginal swap smear test and even chlamydia test.Your treatment will depend on the results of the test.Just treating a possible yeast infection without confirmation will not be good as you might pass by a different STI.You may see your Doctor or a Gynecologist for examination and work-ups.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
