Thick Discharge
An overgrowth of yeast in the vagina can produce a thick, white discharge. Some people believe the consistency of yeast infection discharge is similar to cottage cheese. At times, it may also be very thin and watery. Women may notice this discharge on their vulva, when they wipe and on their underwear.
The discharge associated with yeast infections doesn't usually have a smell. If someone presents with a discharge that has an unpleasant odor, another condition may be to blame.
