Just a yeast infection, or something more sinister like cervical cancer?


The discharge is white and stringy (clumpy?), with some itchyness around the labia. There is an odor which smells a little vinegary but it is not strong. I had intercourse at an early age but haven't had it for four years. I am on the oral contraceptive pill and have never had a pap smear. I have read that intercourse at an early age can give rise to HPV which causes cervical cancer.

Does this sound like a typical minor infection or could it possibly be something worse? I have only just had my second dose of the HPV vaccine last week.

It sounds like a yeast infection. Being on the pill makes you more likely to get them. It's disturbing that a doctor prescribed the pill without performing a pap smear, that is totally incompetent. If you are over 18 or sexually active, you need to get one. If this is your first yeast infection, go to the doctor for treatment. As far as the HPV/cervical cancer, I think it's more the number of sex partners you've had than the age you first had sex. The more partners you've had, the higher the risk. That's why you still need to use a condom even if you're on the pill if you and your partner are not both monogamous.

Sounds minor to me, however go to the doc get it checked and im sure all will be ok!

Just remember its nothing to be embaressed about there trained to help so they will.

But i doubt it would be cancer specially if its just started but i would always get it checked. For your peace of mind!!

it should be somthing minor dont worry much

consult your docter just incase tho

hope this helped
best answer please

It sounds like a yeast infection.
