Do I have a Yeast infection? If I do, what should I do?
i just recently had sex about two days ago last night I noticed white stuff coming out of my vagina, cottage cheese like which I've heard is a yeast infection. I've looked up stuff but don't know what have of it mean. It doesn't smell or burn like some symptoms I've read

Hi Maples,
We can't diagnose it over the internet, so if you're concerned, your best bet is to check in with a healthcare provider. You can find our basic guide to discharge here:

And, if it turns out to be a yeast infection, we have some helpful information on how to manage that here:

Sure, why don't you have a look at this: http://www.mayoclinic.org/male-yeast-in ... q-20058464
