I have researched the STDs and yeast infections and I think that this is a yeast infection.
The only symptom that I have is a white discharge. It is not alot but it is there. There is no odor, no burning no itching. The symptoms for the STDs are not matching what I have. I have treated it with the one day treatment for yeast infections but it came back again.
What are your reommendations? Should I try the 3- day treatment? And if it is a yeast infection why can”t I get rid of it with the treatment for one day? Is it something else?

Some white discharge is normal.
Yeast infection is normally associated with intense itching and lumpy, white, cottage-cheese-like discharge.
Bacterial infection (vaginosis) is usually associated with foul odor.
If you are in doubt, I would have to recommend a clinical examination, gynecological examination possibly combined with STD tests.
After that, it would be safe to take another treatment for yeast infection, I recommend combining it with a course of local antibiotic for bacterial vaginosis, even if your symptoms are not typical of either of these, the treatments are safe enough to justify a trial.
