I have some sort of discharge every day, the smell, texture and colour varies but no itching, pain or discomfort, just paranoia and a constant sense of being unclean and publicly smelly. Sometimes there are thicker clumps within clear discharge. Following washing of my underwear, they're often discoloured as if the discharge has bleached them. Also worried about what potential sexual partners will think. Does anyone else experience this and have answers on dealing with it?
Hi, I have exactly the same problem, sometimes the odour is stronger , sometimes less. I have also noticed a change in discharge/ odour around periode time. Unfortuantly at this moment in time I can't tell you what it is, but I have just been to see the Doctor about it and am waiting for lab results to come back. I'll let you kowo when I get these, and if there is any obvious diagnosis. Take care.
Is it safe to have a mirena coil, if you have had cin3 cells ? Help please .
i am 20 years old and have always suffered irregular periods . i would only have a period twice in a year . after having my baby 6 month ago they have become non existent . i have had all the common tests done and swabs done over and over again but still no diagnosis . please help !!
i have had discharge since i turned 14 im now 23 i have it all throughout the day everyday, it really gets me down i can feel it there and i feel unclean as it stains my underwear. its almost clear and it doesnt smell and everytime ive been to the doctors theyve told me its normal and just my PH balance but surely there must be something that could at least help it a little, as i said it happens every day all throughout the day and it really is unpleasent.
I have had vaginal discharge for about two years now and i am 15, it is smelly and makes me really self-concious, i went to to the doctors and they said it was thrush went away came back, had tests again as the discharge came beck and i was put in the all clear. Returned to my doctors had more tests and still nothing i refuse to believe that this is normal, i can even eel it coming out and its wet. Sometimes my vagina itches and hurts and sometimes it smells of urine. Please someone tell me what to do, i am not sexually active and its really ruined my confidence
I have smelly discharge at the end of my period. I am 42 years old and have had this problem for several years. It has started to be come a problem now.
I can't seem to make love to my partner without it hurting me. I think it may be the condom as they irritate my skin. Could this be why? This is quite urgent and would really appreciate advice.
I am 46 yrs old and had a full hysterectomy at 32. I have started to lose a smelly yellow discharge every few months and even had it checked at the doctors and results have come back normal. Is this normal?
Thank god for this website because i was starting to feel like i was the only 1. it looks like the problem with discharge is a very common one, and like u all im getting very fed up with it, it effects my relationships because i dont feel i can relax, i think about it all the time, and whats worse is i can actually feel it coming out of my vagina! it feels like im constantly on my period. i went to the doctors to aks about it and was told it may be to do with my contraceptive pill, but i dont want to stop taking it. it looks like we will just have to put up with it, and hope it goes away at some point
