Do you have white stuff down there and want to know what yeast infection smell like or look like? Then i will let you know. If you’re worried about the type of discharge coming out your vagina, then it may be abnormal.
However, not all vaginal discharge color is abnormal in women. Your discharge may be yellow, brownish and still be normal. Are you worried that your discharge is now excessively thick or watery? Then it may be normal too. During ovulation, breastfeeding and pregnancy women experience increased vaginal discharge.
You probably have always noticed that white stuff that has no smell and has not itching too. Yes, this is normal vaginal discharge and provided it is not smelly with odor, then its okay.
If you are close to puberty or already now at adolescence, you will probably notice you have discharge. Initially just before your first period, it may be brown in color. But later clears up and becomes white vaginal discharge.
This discharge can be thick white vaginal discharge or watery clear discharge. At the beginning of your menstrual cycle, just after your period ends, you will notice that white stuff is thick white. Also, at the late part of your cycle, just before your next menstruation, you will notice white thick discharge or dry vagina again. This is normal in women.
However, in the middle of your cycle, it becomes creamy white and then watery discharge. This is because you’re ovulating. Do i have to worry about this type of discharge ? No. If your discharge is without smell and vaginal itching then you’re okay. But if you notice that it smells down there, sometimes fishy smelling discharge , then its likely due to an infection.
Now you already know what your normal discharge should look like, lets explain how an abnormal yeast infection looks like.
What is yeast infection? This is a fungi infection that affects your vagina and caused by candida albicans. It is not sexually transmitted. However, it is one of the common vaginal infections experience by pregnant women. If not treated while you’re pregnant can affect your baby during childbirth.
Who are at risk of yeast infection?
What does yeast infection look like?
Yeast infection is clear white discharge and does not have any smell in most women. However, in some women, they may experience an unusual odor that is beer like with other symptoms of vulva swelling and itching.
Yeast infection, especially when not serious can go away on its own. You just have to give it some time to see if your symptoms resolves. However, the symptoms of pain during intercourse and when urinating, soreness of your vulva and itching will require medication to resolve quickly.
Yeast infection can be treated with oral drugs like fluconazole or pessaries. Use of oral fluconazole can affect your baby and therefore not safe if you’re pregnant. However, pessaries or canesten cream can be used without any effect on your baby.
If you have white stuff from your vagina that is cottage cheese like and clumpy then you likely have yeast infection. However, if your discharge is not clumpy and has no inflammatory signs like vaginal itching or vulva swelling, then its likely normal. If you are still worried it could be abnormal, the let your doctor know about it. Yeast infection can be easily tested and treated.
Now its your turn. Do you feel an abnormal discharge and not sure about the odor? Let us know.

Vaginal yeast infection discharge is one of the most common causes of a vaginal discharge and a known symptom of a yeast infection. Also known as vaginal candidiasis or candidal vulvovaginitis, vaginal yeast infection is caused by the overgrowth of yeast-like fungi called candida . It is estimated that 3 out of 4 women ( source 1 , source 2 ) will suffer from yeast infections at one point in their lives; hence, yeast infection in women that affect the vagina is quite common. While there are several candida species that can cause yeast issues in your body, candida albicans is the most common one ( source ).
If you already know that your vaginal discharge is caused by a yeast infection, you may want to read our vaginal yeast infection experts guide . In this guide, our experts cover everything you need to know about this condition, causes, symptoms, treatment and common critical mistakes that can make yeast infection become worse.
If you need a natural quick and safe relief for your vaginal yeast infection or skin, you may want to consider using Ozonated olive oil, which was shown in published human studies to be both safe and effective for vaginal yeast infections and fungal skin issues ( read study ). Based on our experience, Ozonated olive oil is one of the most effective and safe natural home remedies for yeast infections that has helped many, especially where a fast relief is needed. Learn more about ozonated olive oil for yeast infections .
Definition of vaginal discharge and discharge meaning: Vaginal discharge is a fluid produced by glands inside the vagina. The purpose of the vaginal discharge is to keep the vagina healthy, mainly by promoting a clean and moist environment that is designed by nature to protect against infections, inflammation and irritation.
There are many factors that can change the amount, color, or odor of the vaginal discharge. Some may be completely normal while others may indicate there is a problem.
Most women suspect they may have vaginal yeast infection discharge when they notice the classic signs: thick white clumpy discharge, often with unpleasant symptoms such as itching, irritation or burning in the vagina. Before rushing into remedies, antifungal creams, yeast infection pills or medication, it is critical to determine the cause of the yeast infection vaginal discharge, as the needed yeast infection treatment might be completely different. This is especially important in cases of a Vaginal yeast infection discharge that is caused by a systemic candida overgrowth in the body.
We can’t stress this enough – this is by far the main reason why so many women who experience vaginal yeast infections can’t get rid of them. Unless the root cause is fully addressed, these infections are likely to re-occur or even get worse.
The appearance of a vaginal yeast infection discharge is usually a thick chunky milky white discharge. This is usually the classic sign that most women with a vaginal yeast infection discharge notice. There are 4 main characteristics that typically indicate you may have a vaginal yeast infection discharge:
One of the most common causes of a vaginal yeast infection discharge is a systemic candida overgrowth problem in your body, where the vaginal infection is one of the symptoms. Identifying this common condition is essential for a complete yeast infection cure as well as preventing the infection from growing and spreading further. This is exactly what we’ll cover next – how to determine if your vaginal yeast infection discharge is caused by candida overgrowth.
When you have a systemic candida overgrowth problem, there are usually multiple symptoms present in different part of your body. Common yeast infection symptoms in women may include vaginal infections, digestion problems, bloating, gas, food allergies, oral thrush, fungal skin or nails issues, mood swings, mental confusion, weight gain, and others.
One of the most common causes of a vaginal yeast infection discharge is candida overgrowth. The treatment in these cases should include dietary changes as well as proper supplementation plan . These are required in order to help your body to naturally balance the excess yeast. It is important to consider additional factors that may cause or contribute to candida overgrowth. Common factors are certain medications (especially antibiotics), low or compromised immune system , hormonal issues, heavy metal exposure , poor diet choices and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
Yes, it is possible to have a yeast infection and no discharge. Since discharge from yeast infection may be only one symptom of a systemic candida overgrowth problem in your body, it is important to recognize the candida overgrowth symptoms correctly in order to properly treat this common condition.
Vaginal yeast infection discharge usually has no odor or smell. With that said, if you have thick white discharge with odor, you may still have a vaginal yeast infection.

Swelling of the skin outside of the vagina is a very common sign of a vaginal yeast infection. Other symptoms include itching, irritation, burning, rash, redness and cracks in the vagina. For a complete list of symptoms of yeast infection in women please see our Vaginal Yeast Infection Self Test .
Yeast infection looks like cottage cheese discharge and may include the following signs:
To learn more, see our complete experts guide: What does a yeast infection look like?
Milky white discharge, that is also thick chunky and odorless may be a sign of yeast infection discharge. If you however, have always had a white milky discharge with no odor, and have no unusual changes, other symptoms or discomforts, this may not be a sign of a yeast infection discharge.
Yeast infection vaginal discharge is typically a thick white clumpy discharge, looks like cottage cheese with no odor, often with itching, irritation, swelling, pain or burning around the vulva.





What Does a Yeast Infection Smell Like?
How a Yeast Infection Smells (Candida Odor)


Learn if you have a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis (BV) and learn a powerful treatment for vaginal Candida infections!
Yeast infections, often, may have absolutely no smell at all. If you have a more severe infection, you may also have a "cottage cheese" like discharge from the vagina. This whitish ooze, is simply yeast; and, it can smell like fermenting yeast—as you would also smell in fermenting beer or bread. Yeast, if it has a smell, will smell like the yeast you buy from the store to leaven bread; or, it could smell like beer to some extent. But, if you are noticing a vaginal fishy smell, this is highly indicative of bacterial vaginosis (BV). And, BV is the most common of all vaginal infections! Yeast infections will not cause a fishy vaginal odor.
Yeast infections and BV can occur at the same time. So, if you seem to have all the classic signs of a yeast infections, and you also have a foul, or fishy, vaginal odor; this can mean you’ve got two forms of vaginitis. Also, trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted disease (STD), can also cause a foul vaginal odor. So, if you have had some risky sexual activity lately, your bad vaginal odor could be due to this STD.
To help better understand what your symptoms mean, the following research will discuss the various symptoms of common forms of vaginitis. But, if you have a cottage cheese like vaginal discharge , and you have no vaginal odor—or a slight “yeast” smell from the vagina—you may just have a yeast infection.
One study, discussed the various symptoms of common causes of vaginitis; one of which was Candida. The study was published in the journal American Family Physician [83.7 (2011): 807-815]. As far as the symptoms of vaginal yeast infections go, the study cited thick, white vaginal discharge; burning; pain during urination; pain during sexual intercourse; frequent itchiness; and, a lack of vaginal odor as indicators of a yeast infection. Vaginitis that carries an odor, was caused by trichomoniasis and BV. Both trichomoniasis and BV would cause a “fishy” smelling vagina. Also, BV will often present with a homogenous, thin vaginal discharge. Thus we see most yeast infections will have no smell.
Another study, that discussed the most prevalent vaginal infections and the odor they cause, was published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada [37.3 (2015): 266-274]. The study stated, that women with just vaginal Candidiasis, would have a negative “whiff test;” which is checking for a classic “fishy” smell. The study stated BV will cause there to be a fish smell from the vaginal fluid. As far as trichomoniasis goes, common symptoms include an increase in vaginal discharge that can be yellow, green, and frothy in appearance; and, there can also be a foul odor. Thus, women with vaginal yeast infections usually do not have any smell associated with them. A fishy smell means you probably have BV.
Another study, also related that vaginal Candidiasis often has no odor associated with it. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine [355.12 (2006): 1244-1252]. The study stated, that vaginal yeast infections are associated with a cottage cheese like discharge, and are without the presence of a smell. BV is associated with a white or grey, thin, fishy smelling discharge. And, trichomoniasis is associated with a heavy, yellow discharge that can have a foul smell.
A final study, that talked about yeast infection smell, was published in the journal American Family Physician [70.11 (2004): 2125-32]. The study stated that a negative “whiff test,” that checks for the presence of a fishy smell, is one way to help diagnose infections. Again, the two other vaginal infections the study stated can cause an odor, included BV and trichomoniasis. The symptoms of trichomoniasis included a foul smelling, frothy vaginal discharge and irritation of the vagina. For BV, the study listed the symptoms as a homogeneous, milky discharge that sticks to the vaginal wall, and a foul fishy smell from the discharge.
A book entitled Yeast Infections, Trichomoniasis, and Toxic Shock Syndrome , by Michael Sommers, also discusses the smell a yeast infection can produce. Many women have a vaginal odor that is present before their period and then dissipates during menstruation. This odor can change based on several factors: hormone levels, personal hygiene, use of birth control pills, and the levels of bacteria in the vagina. Sommers does relate, that a very strong, or fishy, vaginal odor is a sign of infection.
Concerning the smell a yeast infection can cause, Sommers states that this infection can cause a smell. According to Sommers, the discharge a yeast infection produces will be white or white gray in color. This discharge smells like the yeast of beer or freshly baked bread. The discharge will also be thick or clumpy in consistency; and can resemble cottage cheese. Consequently, as this book states, it appears a "yeasty" odor, similar to beer and bread, appears to be the key smell Candidiasis of the vagina will produce.
According to the The V Book , yeast infections can cause a smell to occur. The authors relate, that a yeast infection can produce a bad smelling discharge. The odor of this discharge can be "yeasty," or sour smelling. Concerning BV, the book states, that a yeast infection can happen along with BV; and, this concomitant infection can produce an odor as well. It can be assumed that a sour or putrid odor, when thick discharge is present, is due to the simultaneous presence of these two, very common, vaginal infections.
This book also relates that vaginal odor can be an embarrassing condition. Many women, at one time or another, are concerned about an unpleasant odor from their vaginal secretions. One of the author’s appears to have encountered this in their practice. It so happened that patients would be reluctant to admit their problem with vaginal odor; as, they assumed it was related to poor personal hygiene. However, the book goes on to say that: "Inadequate washing is almost never the cause of a V [vaginal] scent. Remember that some scent is to be expected from all activity of the Vs [vaginas]." This, of course, is very true. Excessive washing of the vagina can disrupt the normal bacterial life (Lactobacilli) of this area; and, even cause more bad smelling odor, as a result.
An interesting comment, on the smell of Candida, was made by a study published in the Australian Dental Journal [1998; 43:(1):45-50]. The research paper stated that Candida species colonies, when grown, have a yeasty smell to them. This yeasty smell required the Candida to be grown in aerobic (with oxygen) conditions, in a medium that has a pH between 2.5 and 7.5, and in a temperature range of 20° to 38°C. Concerning what can be inferred from this research, the smell of a yeast infection may differ based on its growing environment. As conditions in the gut will be anaerobic (without oxygen), yeast from the gut may not have any odor. However, Candida growing in the vagina or on the skin, can have access to oxygen, and create a yeasty smell.
Another comment of interest, was made by a study published in Mycopathologia [149.1 (2000): 1-4]. The study dealt with Candidiasis of the esophagus; and, cultured Candida species from these patients. Samples from these individuals, with this esophageal infection, were grown in agar (a medium for microorganisms to grow on). The yeast grown on this medium was said to have a characteristic yeast odor. Concerning the type of yeast grown on the agar (and produced the odor), the study seems somewhat ambiguous about this; likely due to a disorganized presentation of the study (many studies have imperfections like this). However, it does appear, that the composition of the yeasts giving the odor, might be: C. albicans (87.5%), C. tropicalis (8.5%), and other unidentified species (4.0%).
From these books, the studies, and the metabolism of Candida; we can clearly see that Candida can produce an odor like other yeasts. Candida, since it is a yeast, operates in a similar way to the yeast used to make beer and bread. Candida, for instance, metabolizes carbohydrates into alcohol. Also, Candida produces CO 2
