    Try just rinsing with water, no chemicals or anything else, for a while and see if it clears up.

    Is there an odor?

    It sounds like it could be an antibiotic resistant strain of yeast, or possibly bacterial vaginosis (if there is an odor). Time to get a second opinion.

    Change in the color, odor or consistency of vaginal discharge may indicate an infection. Yeast infections, where the volume of regular vaginal yeast increases, cause a thick, white discharge that resembles cottage cheese. Other vaginal infections (sometimes grouped as vaginitis) like trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis can cause other changes to vaginal discharge, such as changes in amount, color and odor. Sexually transmitted diseases may also be associated with unusual vaginal discharge, but frequently have no symptoms.

    In addition, altered vaginal discharge may be the result of personal behaviors or habits that can affect the vaginal environment. These include douching and wearing tight clothing that restricts air flow to the vagina.

    Symptoms that may accompany vaginal discharge include painful urination, itching, pelvic pain or rash. Sudden change in vaginal discharge should be reported to a physician, preferably a gynecologist (GYN). If there is infection, it can be treated and the vaginal discharge should return to normal levels
