I’ve had white-ish (with little spots of light green/yellow, kind of like mucus) vaginal discharge for about a week. More accurately, I thought I was going to start my period because I was having cramps but when I took out my tampon it had chunky white stuff on it. I haven’t had my period in nearly 6 months (which I have already told multiple doctors/nurses numerous times, and none have suggested I get a pap smear). I’m wondering, could this discharge be related to the cramps and lack of period instead of a yeast infection? Also, it’s not an STD, I’m a virgin.

And just in case it is a yeast infection, I thought about taking some OTC medication, but was wondering if that would be bad if I DON’T have a yeast infection? Is it safe to try the OTC medication first or should I get to the doctor first?

Thank you!

I am 15 years old and I have had some type of infection or irritation in my vaginal area for a while now… over a year. It’s gotten a LOT worse within the past month-ish or so, and I have gone to the pediatrician 3 times, and every time they have told me that I don’t have a yeast infection or any other kind of bacterial infection or whatever. They all told me to try Sitz baths and use anti-itching cream, which sometimes helps to temporarily soothe it, but the stupid thing just won’t go away! It seems like I’ve had it for forEVER… it didn’t used to be a big deal, but lately it has been like 5x itchier, very swollen, sore, red, etc. and it sometimes burns to pee (not all the time though). It does smell kind of fishy which is why my mom thought it was an infection, but the doctors said it wasn’t. I just don’t know what to do anymore, because they can’t give me antibiotics or anything to cure it since I don’t even have a specific infection. The symptoms are so bad though, during school it’s sometimes unbearable to sit still in class, and it often keeps me awake at night. Running cold water on it and icing it helps for the time being, but afterwards it goes right back to being itchy and sore. My labia are very swollen and red, and in the past few days they have gotten a little rough/hard… I don’t know what this means? Also, to make things worse, I recently got a rash in my ass… It came a couple months ago and I have been using diaper rash cream, which has helped but I don’t think it’s all the way gone. I really have no clue what I can do anymore.. I really really don’t want to go to the gynocologist because I’m so scared it will hurt like hell… I can’t even stick tampons up there I still use pads because I’m the biggest wimp ever when it comes to sticking things up there. I have like a fear of it or something, which is why this whole thing sucks so bloody much. PLEASE HELP MEEEEE!!!
I just started using this new anti-itch cream, and my labia have only gotten very very swollen since I started using it a few days ago. Could I be allergic to it, or is it just a coincidence?
