female only Yeast Infection......Maybe?

[SmilingBeauty 223]

I have never had a yeast infection before. I had surgery on May 26th and came home May 28th. Since I've been home I have a funny smell down there. No itching or anything like that. Could it be a yeast infection or just the meds?

I've also never had a yeast infection, but my understanding is that they don't have to itch. You should be able to pick up a Monistat kit at the pharmacy and if it is a yeast infection that will knock it out pretty quickly and if not, it won't hurt you.

Any white discharge? That would be the main symptom.

For those who might know, could it be ketosis? My understanding is that in ketosis, the body releases toxins through the skin, the breath, the poo, urine, so......maybe the vajayjay, too? I am asking, too, on account of I don't know.

It could be ketosis.

There is no mistaking a yeast infection because of the nasty white discharge, smell and itching.

It is definitely possible as antibiotics can cause them and they certainly give you enough of those in the hospital.

What kind of funny smell? Could be bacterial vaginosis, just your vaginal flora changing along with all of the other changes your body is adjusting to. Only way to know for sure is to see your doctor or nurse practitioner. It is likely something that is easily treated.

Might be the high doses of antibiotics. Sometimes you cab smell them coming from your pores and urine. High doses cab also cause yeast infection.
