For awhile now (maybe 6 months), I've
noticed a foul stinch when I urinate. I
thought that maybe it was a yeast
infection, so I went to the store and
bought Monistat 3 or 7...one of those.
And to my surprise, it didn't fix
anything. Not only that, but almost
everyday I have a whitish vaginal
discharge. Plus, every once in a blue
moon when I urinate, right when I get off
the toilet, I have a strong urge to go
again. Should I be worried?

Alrighty. First, monistat is for vaginal
infections, not urinary ones, so that's
why it didn't help at all. You were using
the wring kind of medicine in the wrong
place.
WHite vaginal discharge is normal usually,
but if this is a sudden development it may
be signs of something. However, it sounds
normal. if it was yellow or green, then
I'd worry. I too have a lot of discharge.
If you don't want to go to the doctor
(though I always advise you do so) you
should try cranberry juice. This will help
with your urine. The stading up and having
to pee again thing is probably just a side
effect of being female. It happens to me
too!

Sounds to me like it could be a urinary
tract infection. I'd see your doctor to
get on some antibiotics. And drink
cranberry juice. If you can't tolerate
that try taking cranberry capsules.

You could also be dehydrated. Trying
drinking more water.

i too have a odor to my urine and i though
i had either a UTI or yeast infection,
went to the doctor and they told me that
they couldn't find nothing realation to
the odor... but he did give me shot of
antibiotics just in case there was
somthing that was to minor to see to
prevent it from coming. They might just
give you a prescription. I would def. go
to the doctor!
