I think I have a yeast infection but some things dont add up
I am 17 have had my period for 7 years I am sexually active but a lesbian with one partner for 3 years. I have symptoms almost identical to that of a yeast infection except my discharge is not "cottage chesse" like. It is reoccuring. It has come and gone month after month, sometimes come and gone more than one within the month for about 4 years. I do not know what to do. I have done so much researching and have got nowhere. And haven't found a gyno that will see me cause I am still a minor. My mother doesn't think I need to go to one so she won't take me either. And just tonight my girlfriend told me she is experiences the same symtoms I get, though she has alot of discharge almost like a period ( though she has only had one in her life. ) Sorry this is so much and so complicated. I don't know where else to turn. I don't know what wrong with me, or her, and now she is experiences the same symptoms

It really does sound like a yeast infection. What I would do is go get an over the counter treatment for a yeast infection. Use it until its finished and see if your symptoms subside. If they do, then you know it was nothing worse than a yeast infection. If they don't, then you need to see a doctor. If your mom won't take you find a Planned Parenthood (if you are in US) or something like it near you and make an appointment. They do exams and screenings for free and confidentially for minors. But get the test. Either way, you'll know something in about 7 days. Good luck.
