Foul smell. Discharge. Burning. You can go to the drug store and buy a test to see if it is a yeast infection or not; or you can go see your doctor. If it is a yeast infection it is easy to treat, but before you treat it make sure you know if you have one or not.

Yeast is a fungus referred to as Candida. Yeast is commonly present on normal human skin and in areas of moisture, such as the mouth and vagina.
Vaginal yeast infections occur when new yeast is introduced into the vaginal area, or when there is an increase in the quantity of yeast already present in the vagina relative to the quantity of normal bacteria.
If you have diabetes mellitus or are pregnant or taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or antibiotics you may get an infection. The use of douches or perfumed vaginal hygiene sprays may also increase a woman's risk of developing a vaginal yeast infection. Improper ventilation - say wearing nylons too long, tight pants, etc, can contribute to getting an infection.
Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching
For a few women, a yeast infection can go away on it's own just after their period.
Normal discharge doesn't itch or bring pain and swelling.
