There are yeast infections and there are yeast infections imposters. Do not just assume an itch down below is a yeast infection. Common culprits are Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Trichomoniasis and Noninfectious Vaginitis. The tip-off that it’s not yeast starts with a strong fishy odor, which is often noticeable after sex (not by a micro video camera). Discharge is usually runny and grayish or white as well as yellow-green and frothy with intense vulva itching and inflammation. Inflammation and burning can occur when you use a new soap, detergent, or vaginal-care product. It is imperative to see your doctor for antibiotics (with your partner) and stop using the products that bring on the itch and use an over-the-counter vaginal anti-itch cream.
