Yeast infection? Bacterial Vaginosis? Trich? Vaginitis?

I just had a new partner about a week ago and tonight, I felt very wet in my panties. I went to check and it was a thick foamy white-ish pale yellow-ish discharge. It also smells real foul like rotten eggs or something. I have had a yeast infection and BV before. I don't know if this could be either or the two or something new. I'm so afraid. I will see the gyno on Monday, but for the meantime, I need to ease my mind a bit if someone could inform me if they know anything about this matter.

Yes, I did use protection.

Without a wet prep it would be impossible to tell you what sort of infection you have, unfortunately. Bacterial vaginitis is simply an irritation of the vaginal canal, and doesn't mean any specific kind of bacteria was identified. It could well be trichinosis, as that is what it usually sounds like complaint wise, except for the itching which usually also accompanies it. It could be caused by any number of bacteria, though, and only the exam can give you a final answer. Of course, you know the lecture you are going to get about using a condom. But it is the best way to protect yourself from this sort of experience in future. Repeated vaginal infections eventually can cause cervicitis, the inflammation that is often a precursor to cancer or other nasty changes in smears. Take care of yourself, insist your partners wear condoms until you are absolutely sure. These days you just can't be too careful. In the meantime, make yourself as comfortable as you can. Stick to the all cotton undies, avoid pantyhose, and make sure you launder it all in hot water and bleach. Those that can't do a hot wash should be microwaved damp to be sure you kill all the little buggers hanging around. Your partner will also need to be informed and probably treated as well, so you might want to give him some notice on that now.
Like as not it's just a routine bacterial infection, easily taken care of with a round of antibiotics or a cream. You already know that drill, and this won't be any different. With luck, by Monday you will know the answer for sure, and by Wednesday should start to note improvement.

You need to be having protecred sex to begin with. Fromthe way you decribed it you have a major infection starting. Sounds like you need a couple doses of Rocephen. Start flushing your system with water.(bottled only) eat plenty of plan yogart (yogart helps kill the yeast) Fresh fruits and fresh vegis'. Do not drink soda or coffee. Keep your body stimulant free. These things will help you.
Go buy some badadine swabs you can pick them up at your local pharmacy. Use them to clean your self down there. Take the weekend and stay home. Just wear a dress around the house (nothing elce let it be open) Dont rub it just pat clean and wash after each time you pee. The cleaner you keep your self the quicker it will heal.
Sorry to hear that this happened to you.

Did you guys use protection? If not, it could be a vaginal infection or something else could've just messed up the balance in your vagina. I'd go get tested anyways like you said you were. Check WebMD.com it has always helped me when I have health problems.

looks like STD.
Most vaginal discharge is normal especially if you are of childbearing age.

Glands in the cervix produce a clear vaginal discharge that keeps the vagina walls moist. The purpose of normal vaginal discharge is to clean and moisten the vagina and help to prevent and fight infections - much the same way that saliva cleans and regulates the environment of the mouth.

Normal vaginal discharge is sometimes white in color but can turn yellow when exposed to the air and leaves a yellow stain on the underwear.

A normal vaginal discharge has no odor (or very mild odor), causes no irritation and, again, is usually whitish or clear. Although it's normal for the color, texture, and amount of vaginal fluids to vary, some changes in discharge may indicate a problem.

Normal vaginal discharges can vary somewhat in texture and color. They can be somewhat thin, sticky, and elastic or thick and gooey.

If you think you may have a problem, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. First, though, it helps to learn some of the differences between normal and abnormal vaginal discharge. This will help you to recognize changes that may occur.

Green vaginal discharge can be a sign of cervical disorder and requires the attention of your physician. A green vaginal discharge may be due to a sexually transmitted disease such as Trichonomis, particularly in women with multiple sexual partners. The vaginal discharge resulting from Trichonomis is often frothy and can range in color from gray to green to yellow, with a watery to milky consistency.

A yellow-green vaginal discharge could also be due to Gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacteria. The bacteria can be passed from one person to another through vaginal, oral, or anal sex, even when the person who is infected has no symptoms. They can also be passed from a mother to her baby during birth. A woman who has Gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all or her symptoms may be so mild that she doesn't notice them until they become more severe.

A thick white vaginal discharge that resembles cottage-cheese may signify Candida Yeast Infection. Candida Yeast is a treatable fungal infection of the vagina. Yeast infections result from an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina 鈥?the most common being a fungus called Candida Albicans. The main symptom is itching, but you may have a white, thick vaginal discharge that resembles cottage cheese.

Dark brown vaginal discharge can be a sign of an infection, such as Vaginitis. Vaginitis is a broad term for a vaginal condition often characterized by swelling, itching, burning or infection in the vagina that can be caused by several different germs such as the germ that causes Trichonomis. A dark brown vaginal discharge can also be caused by an object such as a tampon that鈥檚 been lodged or forgotten in the vagina (yes, this has been known to happen!) It is therefore important that you check with your doctor so that you can determine the exact cause and receive treatment if necessary

Thick yellow vaginal discharge could be due to Cervicitis which is an inflammation or infection of the cervix. There are two types and either may be contagious. Cervicitis is very common, affecting many women at some point during their adult lives especially those with multiple sexual partners, a history of sexually transmitted disease or intercourse that began at an early age.

Many women with Cervicitis may not experience any symptoms at all, however those who do may experience the following:


*Yellow vaginal discharge, that may also be gray or white in color.
*Abnormal vaginal bleeding after intercourse, between periods or after menopause
*Sense of pelvic pressure or heaviness
*Painful sexual intercourse

A grayish vaginal discharge could also be due to Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) and may cause your discharge to be heavier than usual. Your vaginal discharge may become foamy or frothy and have an embarrassingly fishy odor. If your condition is due to BV, then you may want to try an effective natural alternative to antibiotics like Metronidazole that doctors give to patients when BV is the cause of feminine odor.

As you can see, the symptoms of these infections and the vaginal discharge which they produce can overlap quite a bit and can be very similar, so it is important to see a doctor if you have any of the symptoms of abnormal vaginal discharge so you can find out exactly what the cause is and treatment can begin
