Is it BV or Yeast?
Do I have a Yeast Infection or BV?
It's important to be able to tell the difference: BV, or bacterial vaginosis, happens when you get thrown off balance and there is an overgrowth of "bad" bacteria in your vagina. On the other hand, yeast infections are fungal infections caused by an overabundance of yeast, also called Candida. BV treatment requires an antibiotic, and yeast infection treatment requires an antifungal—if you treat for the wrong infection, you won't get relief!
Signs of BV or Yeast Infection
- Unusual discharge odor (BV)
- Thin gray or green genital discharge (BV)
- Chunky white genital discharge (Yeast)
- Genitals are itchy (Yeast)

Wisp = win
I was literally dreading going to the doctor just to get a simple prescription for what I very well knew was a yeast infection, I’ve dealt with plenty in my life, only to be asked condescending questions and charged outrageously for an office visit. I googled if I could just get one via telehealth and Wisp popped up and omg so easy, so fast, and no doctors to act like I don’t know my own body. Just a simple questionnaire and a prescription sent to my pharmacy to pick up the same day. Also rx discounts! So many wins.

Absolutely easy and amazing
I found out about wisp one day when I was crying in bed one morning with a painful yeast infection in 2023. Next thing I knew the medication was ready at the pharmacy within the hour. I love that they made a website for women who don’t always have access to a doctor. When I first used the website i didn’t think it was legit but I’ve used it several times after for emergencies. In Texas you don’t need a virtual appointment which is nice since I have really bad social anxiety and no insurance. I love wisp and always recommend it to family and friends.

Chronic yeast convenience!
I get chronic yeast infections and my gyno always wants me to make an appt to get a prescription. But appointments are either during my work day or MONTHS out. I can't always take off work and I deffinitely can't wait months for releif. Wisp gets me what I need when i need it, without arguing with me about making an appointment for a reccurring condition.

Yeast or BV FAQ
Your Provider
Generally, bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by an odor, while yeast infections typically cause itching. It's usually this simple. While yeast infections can be painful, BV is not associated with pain. Without treatment, BV not only results in discomfort and odor, but it also leads to inflammation, heightening the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
