I have a yeast infection in my vagina, white cheesy discharge, pruritic some time, recently I have some burning sensation.
This symptoms I noticed after using antibacterial soap in washing my genitalia for one time, and symptoms last since 4 month.

Hi, @ayamahamed - I wanted to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, along with @lioness. The burning sensation and discharge sound quite uncomfortable.

I moved your message to this existing discussion on yeast infection so that you can connect with members who are also talking about this topic. Hoping you can meet @the1boss @gardeningjunkie. @jjohnson8747 @kg7382 @mary1234 have also mentioned various types of yeast infections and may have suggestions and provide some support for you.

Have you been seen by your doctor for this infection, @ayamahamed? If so, what did he or she recommend?

@ayamahamed Hi I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing this. If you haven’t gone to the doctor yet to be tested, you should start there as there are many other medical conditions that mimic yeast and each has a different treatment. If your doctor has already ruled out the others and you know it’s yeast, then you may need both a systemic treatment (pill) as well as topical (OTC creams typically work well). @gardeningjunkie provided a lot of good information as well. Wearing cotton underwear (if not already mentioned) and looser fitting clothes will help. (yeast likes to grow in dark damp areas) Hope you are better soon!
