Yeast infection?
I'm thinking that I have one, but I'm not certain. There's an uncomfortable slight burning, mainly just unfomfortable feeling in my vajj. It's itchy sometimes, and burns when I piss.
I am sexually active, I was thinking it might be an allergic reaction to latex, but I'm not sure.
Go on, advicenators, do what you do.

Sounds like a UTI more than a yeast infection, but you need to see a doctor either way to get it treated. It's not something you want to leave longer than you should, because it will probably get worse.
Yeast infection, taken from a website:
"- feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. this itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone ride your bike to the pharmacy or doctor to get it treated.
- looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear.
- smells like bread or beer. in fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). no bacteria could smell like that, so it's a great diagnostic. "
UTI:
"UTIs can be fairly easily distinguished from vaginal infections by a host of symptoms, including pain or burning when urinating, blood or mucus in urine, needing to urinate often, pain or pressure in back or lower abdomen, and a fever or chills. if you think you might have a UTI, don't mess around: go see a doctor, because the infection can travel up past the bladder, causing kidney damage."
"A good way to distinguish the burning on urination that is due to a yeast infection vs. a urinary tract infection is to pay close attention to exactly when the burning starts and stops. With yeast, the burning is due to acidic urine hitting the irritated skin of the vulva, so the burning starts when the urine reaches the outside. With urinary tract infection, the burning is felt as the urine passes down the tube on its way out."

It sounds more like a Urinary Tract Infection. You will need to see a doctor to get on antibiotics. If you wait too long, it is possible the infection will spread to your kidneys (speaking from personal experience).
