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 an odor smell. I've never had a yeast infection, and I was just wondering if this is a symptom of a yeast infection or maybe some kind of STD.
Answer
It may be an bacterial overgrowth--you should go get it checked out.
