Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis?▾
Yeast infections typically cause thick, white discharge with itching. Bacterial vaginosis causes a thin gray or greenish discharge with a fishy odor. Symptoms overlap, which is why testing matters: we confirm the diagnosis so you get the right treatment.
Can I treat a vaginal infection at home, or do I need to see a doctor?▾
Over-the-counter yeast treatments work for some, but many infections require professional diagnosis and prescription treatment. Recurrent infections can signal other health issues. If you have had more than one infection in 6 months, an evaluation can rule out diabetes, immune issues or antibiotic resistance.
Is bacterial vaginosis an STI?▾
No, but it is associated with sexual activity and an imbalance in vaginal bacteria. It is not passed between partners the way herpes or chlamydia are. It can increase the risk of STIs and pelvic inflammatory disease, so it is treated promptly.
What causes vaginal dryness, and can it be treated?▾
Dryness is common during perimenopause and menopause as estrogen drops, but it also occurs after childbirth, with certain medications, or with reduced sexual activity. Options include vaginal moisturizers, lubricants, hormone therapy and vaginal estrogen. Your provider discusses what fits your situation.
