A vaginal discharge that looks like cut milk (or cottage cheese) may be indicative of a vaginal yeast infection, especially if it occurs along with vaginal itching and burning.
A vaginal yeast infection is a yeast infection, usually caused by Candida albicans. For this reason, in the presence of a vaginal discharge that looks like cut milk, the woman should see a specialist, so that the most appropriate treatment can be given.
It is true that there are over-the-counter treatments for vaginal candidiasis, but it is recommended that the woman obtain an initial diagnosis from her doctor, at least the first time she presents this type of discharge and symptoms.
