What Causes Thick Whitish Vaginal Discharge?
Question: I have thick vaginal discharge now and it has always been clear, and my boyfriend says it taste sour. I went to my obgyn and she gave me something for a yeast infection, but it still is thick and white, and sour
Brief Answer:
vaginal swab to confirm the infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
I can understand your concerns,
As you told that you have thick white discharge and your Gynecologist diagnosed it as yeast infection.(assuming she did physical examination).
In yeast infection, discharge appears curdy and can cause itching. Vaginal swab testing helps to confirm it.
In my opinion, the adequate treatment for yeast infection is clotrimazole vaginal pessary for 6 nights and tablet fluconazole 150mg once weekly for 3 weeks orally.
Hope this helps.
I wish you well.
Thanks.
