It's a vaginal yeast infection. I have white clumpy discharge with some itchiness. There isn't any odor. It's the same as yeast infections I have had in the past .

Brief Answer:
Its seems to be like candida vaginitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again..

You told that you had white clumpy discharge with some itching...right.

In case of vaginal yeast infection ( candidia vaginitis), discharge is thik, curdy white and in flakes and having itching.

If you have all this feathers then it is sure that it is vaginal yeast infection.

Advice-
1. visit to nearby gynecologist, so that he/she have a look of your discharge and confirm the diagnosis and treat accordingly.
2. don't worry it can be treated with the antifungal drugs. so.. RELAX.
