i’ve been getting white clumpy discharge like mushed up toilet paper, also my vagina is itchy and sore, & it stings around the hole when i pee, do i have a yeast infection? and can i do to the doctor without my mum with me? i’m 14 btw, and are there any natural remedies to cure a yeast infection instead of getting antibiotics?

Yes u do have a yeast infection (thrush).
You can go to ur doctor wiv ur mum or on ur own,(i did, i went on my own lol) what they do is they take a small swab from ur vagina, which does not hurt!!! they will give u some cream which u apply daily!
Yeast infections can be sexually transmitted infections or they can occur when u eat alot of yeast, like eating lots of bread or u can just randomly get it!
You can also buy creams over the counter like Canastan Duo, which is a cream and tablet, thats around £12!! =]
Don’t worry about it, it’s nothing serious!
Don’t share ur towles wiv anyone as this can pass the infection on!!
Just ring up ur local doctors and ask for an appointment with a nurse and say u believe u have a yeat infection!!
Hope i helped and memba there’s nothing to worry bout meny people get them!! =]
about buying canastan u don’t have to be 16 chuck i’m 15 and i bought it, they just ask u a few questions and then u have 2 sign summit! p.s i don’t look 15 i look more 14 lol !! so u’ll b able to buy it !! =]
i got that alot when i was pregnant i thought it was thrush? i never took anything 4 it! just keep it clean
Sounds like you do. There’s no shame in having your mother go to the doctor with you..but you’ll want to get it cleared up before it gets worse. You can buy over the counter meds that will work. Please don’t be ashamed of something that can harm you.
Sounds like it
You can get Canestan from a chemist
Or you can try live natural yoghurt
you can go to the doctor on your own or make an appointment with a female one just ask
yes. try the yogurt and eat less bread and cakes with leavening since they contain yeast. also avoid sulfurs and sulfites in foods.
yes sounds like thrush
if you are in the uk you can go to boots and ask for caneastan
you can have a cream to apply with a tablet to take and that will sort it out.
but if you get thrush again soon after a trip to the doctors would be a good idea to make sure there is no medical reason, some illnesses can cause it.
anti bio-tics can cause thrush.
its common don’t worry about it
it can be transmitted via sex i know you are only 14 but if you are having regular sex then your partner will need to be treated too.
i am not saying its ok to have sex underage but if girls and boys do then its better they know whats what
I get monthly yeast infections and I always use monistat 3day treatments. Today I bought AZO Yeast and I have taken 3 of those as directed on the box and my symptoms have already eased.
If the over-the-counter doesn’t work, I would get diflucan (an antibiotic pill) and they are very effective if you use them RARELY!
As for burning when you pee…You might ahve a Urinary Track Infection (UTI)…they sell AZO UTI medicine at walmart also. If you go to the doctor for this, they will have you pee in a cup and then prescribe an antibiotic.
Good Luck
it sounds like you do.
if your discharge looks similar to that of cottage cheese then thats a sign of a yeast infection.
antibiotics dont always help because they can cause yeast infections to reoccur due to the atificial bacteria in it.
the best home remedy would be to dip a tampon into yogurt. make SURE the yogurt is 100% natural and not flavored and insert it into your vagina. the bacteria from the yogurt will replace the bad bacteria in your vagina.
you should keep it in for about 2 hours.
you can either do it that way or you can eat it. but the tampon way is more effective.
you can also use ginger.
good luck.

it could be yeast. the only symptom, often, is itching.
don’t buy OTC products. they are expensive, may not work, and could help build resistance in your body if you have misdiagnosed yourself.
many women swear by yogurt. apply plain, no-sugar-added yogurt to the area, inside and out, a few times a day for a few days. it works like a charm and costs less than $1.
if that doesn’t work, you can try another home remedy (google it) or see a doctor.
btw – yeast isn’t bacteria, so it’s not treated with antibiotics. it is a fungal infection, so it is treated with antifungals.
Sounds like you have thrush. You probably don’t need to go to the doctor if you are too embarrassed to go with your mum but you should go to a chemists and ask to speak to the pharmacist just to make sure that you are diagnosing correctly. They can then offer you creams or pessaries to help to clear it. Don’t wear nylon knickers for a bit, keep to loose fitting cotton ones….!
Aww poor you. Sounds like thrush. If your under 16 the gp can inform your parents you are going to see them, but they dont usually if it is something as simple as thrush. But you can buy over the counter thrush cream. Ask at a good chemists like boots. Natural yogurt is cheap and if you smear it on it will reduce the itching. Thrush is so commen pants will help you that are made of 100 cotton. dont be embarrassed to talk to your parents, we all get thrush growing up. Good luck xxxxxx
When I think I have a yeast infection I do three things and that seems to take care of it.
The first is to drink/eat yogurt lots of it.
The second is I slather some non sugared, non flavored yogurt on my vulva/girly bits.
I soak a tampon in plain yogurt and insert it for like an hour.
This is what works for me. Its all natural, so if it isn’t a yeast infection then it won’t hurt you.
Just speak to your mum, she probaly had it to
P.s i heard that natural yoghurt works
sounds like it could be thrush, you can get cream and tablet from the chemist
