Why is my vagina itching with cheesy discharge at 16?

Patient's Query

I am 16 years my vagina started itching and cheesy smelling discharge it started on last Saturday

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

It seems that you may have a yeast infection. Yeast infections can occur in girls of any age. They may cause itching and a discharge that looks like cottage cheese. When the body’s pH balance is thrown off, yeast infections are more likely. Cotton underwear should be worn and tight clothing should be avoided. You can buy over-the-counter creams for yeast infections. If the problem doesn’t get better, talk to a gynecologist. Keep the area clean and dry and try not to scratch it.

My last period was 26 March and I think I conceived on the 3rd or 4th of may. My cycles are usually 40 days long and I’m getting all pregnancy symptoms but negative or faint tests

Female | 22

If your last period was on March 26 and you suspect pregnancy from early May, pregnancy tests might not show accurate results if taken too early. Wait at least a week after a missed period for a more reliable test. Use your first morning urine for better accuracy.

Gaining weight during periods

Female | 20

Your period brings a bit of we­ight gain. That's normal. You retain extra water. You fe­el bloated and heavie­r. Drink lots of water. Avoid salty foods. That helps reduce­ water retention. Do light e­xercises. Eat a balanced die­t. These steps can manage­ the temporary weight gain.
