Fungal / Yeast Infections :: Brown Discharge With Smell?
Oct 26, 2015
have always had a problem 'down there' since a young age and was told not to worry about it my symptoms include discharge that ranges from white to slightly brown and lately a very strong smell. What alarmed me was something that happened three months ago. Lately it turned out that i had little sensation in the vagina canal area and my clitoris ended up being very painful if it was stimulated too much. I've never had this problem before with my boyfriend and i haven't read about anything like this happening where the vagina ends up being sore and little sensation? I have recently seen my gp and she said it could possibly be thrush and gave me a course of Flagyl ( metronidazole) and a Clotrimazole cream that i apply outside of the vagina and inside via an applicator.

Have been on 250mg for 5 weeks for skin infection. Have now lost all sense of taste and miserable as choosing not to eat as dull and boring. I am choosing to stop medication now as nothing is worse than this and i fly on holiday tomorrow. Does anyone know if my taste will return to normal and how long this may take?

I'm 14 years old, 15 soon and I haven't had my period since around August (6 months). my period was regular until I got the birth control implant in my arm, (June) and then it was irregular. it would last for around two weeks and was light then it just stopped coming. I get sharp pains close to my hip bones and in my left side below my ribs. Recently I've had a lot of white discharge and a bad smell but today it was brown and smelled sour. I am sexually active but I am not pregnant.

There's this brown stuff in my undies. it's been happening for about 3 days now, and won't go away I'm not cramping i feel totally normal... usually it's yellowish but at first clear. Idk what this is!?i wash it there but it's still brown, Idk what this is and i can feel it squirt out and its gross! Can anyone give me an explanation on what's going in? (I've never had this before and I've never had a period) I've had the yellowish stuff for about 2 years now it is usually clear then turns yellowish( sometimes it's like a gooey booger form). I have one more question.. it smells weird down there...ever since 3 years ago...does every woman/girl have their one sent or should they all smell like nothing? And if so then how do u make it smell like nothing?

Hey everyone i have a sort of red area on inner thigh for second time in 3 mos, not sure if from shaving down there or im thinking i coulda got herpes from a gym sauna i sat on bench naked but had small towel under me but my balls touched the bench when i was sitting tho. Yea its crazy but i got these red bumps like a rash like a day and half later on inner thigh where meets my balls. Then a area above there in the crease where leg and balls touch got real red and tiny open sores or cuts. Doesn't hurt rly just very mild irritation right in crease. I knw this sounds crazy but i never have had anything like that and this is 2nd time since sauna 3 mos ago that its happened but no rash this time just the red area and cuts or watev. Looks like yeast or fungal infections i saw on google but the skin is broken like little cuts or sores in the red area of groin. I got no sores or anything on my penis or by it. Could it be herpes? Has anyone got stuff like that from sauna?

I am 27 years old. Have had 1 sexual partner for the last year and a half. I've had yeast infections before, probably 1 a year prior to him coming along. in the last 6 months I've had a few yeast infections, and the worst vaginal irritation, including severe swelling, dryness, itchiness, etc. Sometimes I sit in the tub for an hour, and its even gotten to the point where I ice my vagina to decrease the swelling. My doctors have told me irritation is just part of having a vagina. How does that help me?
I'm a very healthy person. Have no std's. Eat basically Paleo and gluten free, and exercise on a daily basis. I stay away from sugars because I fear they will cause the yeast to come. I'm getting worried that the yeast is a sign of something much worse. Then, I read web articles, which talk about immune deficiencies, diabetes, LBS, etc. and get scared, which just stresses me out.
Is yeast a normal thing, or am I justified in being worried?

My 1 year old has a bad yeast infection. She has already been prescribed nystatin and it seems to work, but the infection is not going away. The doctor did not answer my question when I asked him what caused yeast infections. He said they just happen. If they just happen how come every baby girl does not have them. Does anyone have any more useful information about what could cause a yeast infection in a 1 year old? I don't believe we were just unlucky.

So I wanted to give an update on my post I made a few months back, on the "i can't get rid of BV!
All those remedies never worked for me. I tried the apple cider vinegar douche and the H2O2 douche. I even tried the diet thing,(candida diet) where you can't eat anything basically. Needless to say that didn't last very long, I think I did that for about 3 days because it was just waaay to hard for me. But anyways as I was trying that out I also stopped taking my birth control pills. I had been taking Lutera for about 3 years. (Which is around the time all my symptoms started to happen)
Long story short...my boyfriend told me to do one or the other. And since I had already stopped taking my BC (and that candida diet sucks!) I decided to just eat what I want and see what happens with everything going on down south. Well A LOT of my symptoms went away!! I've even had sex about 5 times with no bad reactions afterword(which before when I had sex with my bf, almost immediately after or the next morning the symptoms would be so bad sometimes I would cry).
I'm not saying I don't have this anymore because I think I still do, I still have a white milky discharge, that dries on my panty-liners a sort of yellow-brown color, and it smells a little, not fishy but I don't think it's good lol. But i no longer have that severe itching that i use to get, which was the absolute worst!!!!!! TMI but i could probably sit there and scratch for like literally 5mins straight with out any relief, just a flared up vagina! ugh its sucked sooo bad!
But I'm just nervous to go to the doctor to get tested positive a for BV or yeast infection and have her put me on an antibiotic that might just make my symptoms worse all over again. Should I go to the doctor or try an OTC for a yeast infection??

I am a 21 year old girl who has struggled with recurring yeast infections for the past 3 years. They would come every 4-6 months and I'd treat them and they'd go away for the time and come back. Well I had to take penicillin for strep throat 2 months ago and guess who got a lovely yeast infection? Even taking a diflucan with the antibiotics it still came, so yes I've had a yeast infection for almost 3 months straight. I've give to planned parenthood several times, one doctor says it's yeast the next says it's BV and now this doctor says it's both! Of course they send me home with metrogel and a diflucan even though that hasn't helped. I'm going to do the treatment knowing it's not going to cure it, there's some type of hope right? I need some support from other ladies dealing with this. I've struggled with depression and this is intensifying it. I feel hopeless, I can't have sex and I'm a mess. My boyfriend is completely understanding, but ya no sex isn't the funnest thing. I've also been doing the yeast diet, cut sugars out, no bread, no alcohol, pretty much nothing. I'm taking probiotics, eating yogurt, wearing cotton undies, wearing nothing but dresses at night. I just really really need somebody to tell me what helps them get through this, I wanna cry plenty of times throughout the day because this is so miserable.

My co-worker takes fertility hormones. When she first started one hormone I noticed a change in my cycle. she recently started a new hormone (a couple months ago) and I've been having chronic mild yeast infections. Could there be a correlation? Could my body be affected by the hormones my co-worker is taking?

I have been dealing with recurrent yeast and bv infections for several years. I have been to a handful of doctors, they cannot tell me why my symptoms won't go away. Doctors have tried to grow cultures of the yeast, but it never grows. I have tested negative for diabetes and do not have anything that would otherwise compromise my immune system. I have tried the yeast free diet - all I did was lose 5 pounds (and on my 100 lbs. body that is saying something). Now my Dr. says that I have BV and a yeast infection. I have tried eating yogurt, inserting yogurt with a probiotic powder, taking probiotics, nothing seems to work. He is giving me Flagyl (500 mg for 5 days) then he wants me to take a Diflucan pill once a day for 20 days. I am not having sex during this most recent treatment plan, in hopes of getting this under control.

For nearly a year now, I have battled with ongoing vaginal infections. I started running into these problems a couple weeks after I first became sexually active (which was a little over a year ago). My boyfriend and I are monogamous, and he is the only person I have slept with. However, I keep getting infections, and it doesn't matter whether or not we use a condom. I have gone to the gynecologist countless times, and for the longest period all my cultures proved negative for STD's and infections. Only twice has it turned up positive for a yeast infection. To get into the nit and gritty of things, I have had a thick, yellow discharge with a foul smelling odor (almost like vinegar) and both internal and external (itchy) irritation. It also hurts to have sex, almost like a stinging pain (sorry about all the gross details).
I have done everything to try to ease my symptoms. I have taken many antibiotics throughout the past year to treat my symptoms and nothing has helped, and even if something does help, my symptoms return fairly quickly. My partner and I have been abstaining from sex for over a month now, but medications still will not do the trick. I have switched out my soaps to all natural ones, with no fragrances. I haven't worn synthetic underwear or thongs for a month. I have also been taking probiotics for about two months. Lastly, I have attempted the "candida diet" with little success, because my low blood sugar levels led me to feel extremely faint, and I quickly needed to stop the diet.

I have now seen a proper specialist for first time. She advises two week break from clob while we zap a yeast/fungal infection with an oral treatment called itraconazole. [And then 6 weeks of daily clob.] I didn't ask her whether it was ok to still use coconut oil or similar and have this slight worry that it might somehow feed the infection!?!? But don't want to forego the comfort unnecessarily.

Does wearing panty liners daily makes you sweaty or give you yeast infections? My mom warned me they do so I refrained from wearing them.
