Vaginal Discharge?
I am 26 and have no itching but have a yellow/green discharge with an odor and was wondering what this could be? I used a 7 day over the counter yeast infection treatment to no avail. I’ve had this discharge for years but always heard women have a natural discharge and thought that was it but it ruins my underwear and after asking around realized this isn’t normal. I’ve tried looking up what it could be on the net but found a lot of different vaginal infections it kind of became confusing.
I don’t have any insurance at the moment but wanted to know if there were any nurses/drs out there who may see this often? Thanks in advance.

Gardnerella Vaginalis. You need an antibiotic. Yeast infection treatment will only make it worse. See a dr.
Vaginal discharge, itching, and burning are common symptoms of the various forms of vaginitis. Although the symptoms of these infections can be very similar, there are some differences to look for in the color and smell of the discharge.
Some vaginal discharge is quite common and normal for women of childbearing age. Normally, cervical glands produce a clear mucous secretion that drains downward, mixing with bacteria, discarded vaginal cells, and Bartholin gland secretions at the opening of the vagina. These substances may (depending on how much mucus there is) turn the mucus a whitish color, and the discharge turns yellowish when exposed to air. There are times throughout the menstrual cycle that the cervical glands produce more mucus than others, depending on the amount of estrogen produced. This is normal.
Sexual excitement and emotional stress have both been associated with a normal vaginal discharge. This discharge is a clear, mucus–like secretion.
I copied and pasted this information from http://www.emedicinehealth.com/vaginal. To me it sounds like a STD, and if you want to learn more go the website to check it out. Well, good luck with finding more answers to you question.
Definitely gardnerella vaginalis – the antibiotic only takes up to a week at most and they have both oral pills and vaginal cremes for it. It’s nothing to worry about just get to the doctor as soon as you can! Bless, xxxx
If the cream didn’t work then it isn’t a yeast infection. If you are sexually active, or having new partners continuously, then whether you have insurance or not you need to find a doctor asap because it may be something serious, and if you don’t get it checked now, you will be pulling more money out of your pocket to help cure whatever you have. However, if you are not sexually active it can just be a small infection. But when it comes down to it, since you’ve had this for quite a while now, it will only get worst so you need to get it checked out asap.
