A healthy vagina is kind of like a rainforest, says Dr. Shrivastava, where an ecosystem of bacterial species, vaginal cells, and yeast live together harmoniously. “Like in a rainforest, when this balance is disrupted, vaginal symptoms may occur,” she explains. “A healthy vagina should not itch, burn or have a foul smell. The amount of vaginal discharge may vary from woman to woman, and fluctuates.
If you have a yeast infection, it's also fine to use the antifungal OTC yeast cures. But again, be sure your symptoms, like itching, irritation, and thick discharge, really are caused by yeast.
