I have had yeast infections without any pain at all. Just the itching and discharge. Pick up some Canestan or something from the drug store or see your doctor to make sure it isn't anything else like an STD if you are sexually active.Health Question & Answer
I think you may have a yeast infection. But here are the symptoms so you can figure it out to yourself.
It feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. this itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone ride your bike to the pharmacy or doctor to get it treated.
looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear.
smells like bread or beer. in fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). no bacteria could smell like that, so it's a great diagnostic.

It could be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection--or both! Your best bet would be to schedule an appointment with your gyno and have them check you out. You can let it go away on its own, but if the symptoms are persistent or very irritating the sooner you take care of it the better you'll feel. Health Question & Answer
If it has discharge with a fishy smell, hot, itchy it could be a bacterial infection such as Bacterial Vaginosis. See your GP - you may need antibiotic treatmentHealth Question & Answer
