Question: Hi I am having cottage cheese like discharge, and today I started to have brown spotting, but when I pee I dont see any blood or anything, and my period finished weeks ago and isnt due again till March 10th, is brown thin discharge sign of a yeast infection? I ruled out cervical cancer because I have no abdominal pain or anything
