Vaginal Discharge is what all woman get nearly all the time! This is to keep the vagina healthy, if we did not discharge, a vagina would become very dry and this could lead to soreness, it also can keep the vagina clean.
However there is a difference between vaginal discharge and a yeast infection.
A yeast infection in the genital area is a build up of yeast, everyone has yeast but it occurs when there is too much of it. There is an excessive amount of discharge which sometimes can look a little like cottage cheese and can also have a foul smelling odour, a yeast infection can also be very itchy and sore.
You can tell these two things apart very easily, but if you are not sure if you have a yeast infection please consult your doctor who will perform some simple tests
I hope this helps
