Gonorrhea or Yeast?

I'm wondering the difference.  Two questions.   The part below the questions isn't necessary but just saving some time in case more details are needed to form an opinion.

1.) Does Gonorrhea discharge always have an odor?  I've had yeast infections before and what is going on right now is the same.  Because I used to get them more frequently, I have left over Diflucan which I took last night.  I figure if it clears, it is indeed a yeast infection.  However, I'm wondering how long symptoms of Gonorrhea last, without treatment (though I know this doesn't necessarily mean the infection has cleared).

2.) Simply put-if the problem is cleared tomorrow, may it still have been Gonorrhea that just coincidentally became asymptomatic?

I have been sexually active (received oral) with someone I am in a relationship with and do trust, who has had no symptoms and negative results on STD tests.  It's just somewhat worrisome to get the discharge/itchiness only a week after engaging in oral sex.  The discharge is the same consistency/appearance as yeast discharge I've had in the past-white/cloudy and not a smooth consistency-what may look like teeny tiny bits of cottage cheese (though not ridiculously thick) and completely odorless.

I will be getting tested at the beginning of the month, but wanted to ask for opinions here as well.  Posted before but didn't really get a response and things have changed a bit. It doesn't burn/hurt inside when I urinate and I'm not urinating more frequently.  I simply have the itching/burning of the vulva and the white/cloudy odorless discharge.

Thank you!

also it's most helpful when you just keep adding to your original post instead of making new ones each time. this is discussed in our read before posting post on this forum.  thank you for your future cooperation with this.

you have no reason to suspect that this is a std if your partner has tested negative for std's and hasn't had any new partners since they were tested other than you.  Vaginitis after receiving oral sex is very common.  

bottom line is - never self treat for vaginitis. be seen and get a proper exam and testing done.  if this is bv, yeast treatments will not work on it.  

antifungals do not treat gonorrhea.

I'm confused by the response...
I had asked if gonorrhea discharge has an odor... was the response to this "no"?  

I had asked if it is possible that I am having gonorrhea symptoms and that they will coincidentally go away on their own since I took yeast infection medication.  I do have symptoms (I am female).  

Thank you for the response!

1) No...how long do they last...they last until treated and get worse over time.

2) Yes it is possible to get it without symptoms, for a male the odds are against that you would be asymptomatic but still possible.
