Could Thin, White Discharge Be Recurring Yeast Infection?
I had a yeast infection about 2 weeks ago (as per gram stain it was +1) and now I have this thin white discharge that if you roll it, it would be like a small rolled wet tissue. I also have occasional itching but its not instense. Could it be that I have yeast infection again?

hi,
I understand your concern.
Yes, the white discharge with itching you have is most likely to be yeast ( fungal)infection- It has tendency to recur again & again unless treated adequately.
-Few of the fungi can hide in folds of vaginal mucus membrane& restart functioning after the medicines are withdrawan.
- THe yeast infection is transffered between two sex partners during sexual contact- so treatment of both partners followed by rigorous efforts to avoid reinfection is needed to avoid reinfection.
Thanks.
