I have this so called yeast infection. It's my first time to experience this. It's been 2 months that I have this. I haven't consulted any doctor yet but 2 weeks from now, I will. I felt itchiness at first month, the good thing is that it doesn't smell like anything. As if it's just a regular white blood. Now, this month of August, I rarely felt itchiness but I noticed that I still this cheese thing inside. I don't know what to do. I drank cranberry juice almost everyday, drink yogurts.

Vaginal yeast infections are due to a fungus called candida which is normally found in the vagina. However, if there is a lack of healthy vaginal bacteria it can lead to overgrowth of yeast (you don't catch candida from someone). Some causes of candida overgrowth: antibiotics, estrogen (pregnancy or some birth control pills), malfunctioning immune system, and diabetes.
You may want to try an OTC anti-fungal yeast medication such as Gynelotramin or Monistat. If your symptoms don't improve after 1 week, then please get evaluated by your doctor.

A cottage cheese like discharge does sound like a yeast infection. Symptoms can come and go. Cranberry juice will not help. Eating yogurt might help a little, but if you want a home remedy that is more likely to work, you can try a low pressure douche with a milk product with lactobacillus acidophilus in it twice a day for up to a week. Brands I have seen are "Probiotic" milk and "Acidophilus" milk. Probiotic supplements in health food stores are expensive and no more effective. Yeast discharge usually doesn't last as long as you have described so you should be checked by your doc for diabetes, in addition to addressing your discharge and itching.
Monistat is effective at treating most yeast infections. It is simple and safe. The only down side is that if you have the wrong diagnosis you will delay diagnosis. You may want to contact your doctor since you have never had a workup for vaginal discharge to rule out some other common causes.
Once you are diagnosed with yeast infection then you will know the symptoms and be able to treat with over the counter medications.

Monistat over the counter. If that doesn't work, see. Doctor. Cranberry juice won't help
