Question
I'm 18 and I'm sexually active. I was wondering what could be causing this thick yellowish, smelly discharge I'm having. There is no itching or burning, but just a really strong odor, especially if I'm working out or something active like that. I've had a yeast infection in the past, and I was just wondering if this is a symptom of a yeast infection or maybe some kind of STD.
Answer
Very likely an infection - so go get it checked out with your doctor or Planned Parenthood!
