Itching and white discharge: What's going on?

Like, I notice some weird discharge, but then it takes two or three days to finally get a hold of my OB-GYN, and they don't have an opening for another two weeks... so by the time I actually get seen, things have already spiraled. Is there any real damage done? And does my partner need to get treated too if it's yeast or a bacterial thing?
If it's a yeast infection... yeah, both people need treatment. It isn't exactly life-threatening, but it's incredibly uncomfortable. The real headache is how easily it comes back whenever your immune system takes a hit...
