Question
I decided to ask you guys here since I'm a bit embarrassed to go to the doctor. Just 2 days ago in the morning I noticed that my clitoris was swollen and itchy and i have a discharge that kinda burns and it looks like white shreds and it has a yogurt smell. My labia's and outside area are red and very sensitive. I should mention that I am married over 6 years now and never ever either of us has had any other sexual partner. Please help me, I don't know what's going on with me. Thank you so much for your time and expertise.
Answer
The easiest answer is a yeast infection - which you can treat with over the counter meication. If it does not go away, you must go see a doctor. Good luck!
