Q: so for a good while now, ive been having a lot of discharge. most of the time its very gooey and pale-yellow. sometimes it even has a tiny bit of a pale-whiteish/green colour, but thats very rare and only lasts for about a day. and it always smells disgusting.

i got one of those home screening tests, and it said i had a yeast infection. but the test didnt have a colour for it if you didnt have a yeast infection. the test is for someone who has a yeast infection, or worse. i'm not exactly sure if i have one or not.

if i did, what can i do? i live a few blocks away from a kroger, but would they have anything there? and if so, what? and would i need a prescription? my mom and i arent on a great level of communication, and i'm embarrassed to ask her. so thanks for anyone who can help :)

I get yeast infections often. My yeast infections are normally caused by being on antibiotics or not having enough calcium in my body.
My yeast infections (haven't had one in awhile, yay!) have a "fish" kind of smell, and its awful and there is a discharge like the kind that you get before you period.
The cure, try to eat alot of yogurt, that normally cures the little ones. If that doesn't work go to your family doctor or wherever you go and tell him/her about it. They'll probably give you antibiotics and it'll go away.
If you get it from being on antibiotics there is an over-the-counter medicine that prevents a yeast infection before it has a chance to come.

Normally, when a doctor puts me on antibiotics I make sure I take my over-the-counter stuff to prevent it.
