Does Yellowish Vaginal Discharge Signify Yeast Infection?

I have a grainy, yellowish-white vaginal discharge. Three days ago, it used to be a bit larger (like small cottage cheese), and presented with a small amount of spotting, so I used a Canestan pill thinking it was yeast. After that, my vulva became slightly itchy and that s also when the graininess happened. The spotting is also still happening. I m using the Canestan cream. I had unprotected sex about nine days ago, and also three weeks ago. Not for over a year before that. Is it probably yeast? I live rurally, far away from doctors, so getting tested is a last resort.

Classically yeast produces a " Curdy white discharge", Spotting is uncommon, itching may be there.
The WHO now advises "Syndromic treatment" where all patients with discharge are treated with the same medicines without tests. Please ask your Doctor about these.
