Answer 2

Hi there!

There are a lot of different types of discharge that a female can have. If its a cottage cheese like white discharge and your vagina itches or is swelled or red its most likely a yeast infection. If your discharge is just whitish/clear and is a regular consistancy (sort of slimy) and you have no itching or swelling its probably just normal discharge. I would keep a close eye on it though, look out for symptoms of a yeast infection. If it does progress into itching and swelling/redness you can either go to your local drug store and purchase Monistat ( the 3 day ovule type is the best) or you can make an appointment with your gynecologist and get an oral medication (such as Diflucan) to clear it up. Most likely from what you're describing its just regular every day discharge. If its bothering you, you can wear a lightdays pad to help keep it from absorbing into your panties. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 3

Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is A LOT of mucous produced, up to 30X more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.

The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor.
Different Types of Discharge

White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.


This website author writes: We receive many questions about vaginal discharge through our "Ask the Expert" section. Below physician assistant Steven Johnson, explains what is normal and when to see a health care provider.

One of the challenges to answering questions sent into a health care Web site is making sure that the person asking the question seeks the advice and care from her doctor when appropriate. There is often information NOT given that can really change the answer.

For instance:
How old are you (really)?
Are you on medications or do you take herbs or vitamins?
Do you have pain or itching?
Are you pregnant?
Do you have other health problems (like diabetes)?

An important question is sexual activity. Sometimes it isn't accurate to simply say yes or no. Symptoms can depend on the number of sexual partners, kind of sexual partners, birth control, birth control failure, kind of sex you are having and if abuse is involved. I think you can see, it can get pretty complicated to get all the information needed to give the best answer possible.

With that said, here is my best answer to the common question of vaginal discharge.

A normal vaginal discharge consists of about a teaspoon (4 ML) a day that is white or transparent, thick to thin, and odorless. This is formed by the normal bacteria and fluids the vaginal cells put off. The discharge can be more noticeable at different times of the month depending on ovulation, menstrual flow, sexual activity and birth control.

It is not uncommon for the normal discharge to be dark, brown or discolored a day or two following the menstrual period.

If you are having ANY of the symptoms below SEE YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.
Pain
Itching
Discomfort
Rash or sores alone or with a vaginal discharge

Answer 4

This could be perfectly normal. But, I thought you might want to be aware of Chlamydia.

Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because 75 percent of infected women and at least half of infected men have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks of exposure. Symptoms, if any, might include an abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning sensation when urinating. The infection is often not diagnosed or treated until there are complications.
If you think you have chlamydia or are concerned about it, both you and your sex partner should see a doctor right away.

Answer 5

You only really need to worry about a discharge when it has a odor, itches, burns, hurts, or has an odd color. It may actually be your normal discharge. But if you are really concerned go see a doctor so that you may feel relieved. Can never hurt to have a medical professionals opinion. That is what they went to school for.

Answer 6

If you're talking about vaginal discharge, clear to slightly whitish is considered normal. Youll notice slight changes in your discharge depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. If you develop an odor, itching, or any colors of discharge like yellow or green, it's time to see your doctor. Do not douche, or use female intimate sprays, as it's not recommended by ACOG.

Answer 7

To all who reads but ever in doubt about anything coming out of your body should seek medical attention. Discharge is common for all ages. If you don't have any medical insurance they always have a county hospital who does have OB doctors or go to your local Health Clinic. Discharge could also be from STD (sexual transmitted diseases). If the discharge smells than its serious. Just ask a doctor or health clinic. Just drink a lot of cranberry juice will clean your system of any urinary tract infection. Take vitamins to keep your system clean. Be health cautious and keep the Lord in your prayers to clear away your discharge.

Answer 8

ok, i just went through this not long ago.

if it's not cottage-cheesy and doesn't have a bad smell and there is no itching, it's probably not a yeast infection.

if it's yellowish/greenish it may be a bacterial infection.

otherwise, it's very likely it's natural discharge. i have this myself and my boyfriend thought i was cheating on him, because it looked like seminal fluid. i went to the OB/GYN and she took a sample and checked it out under the microscope and said it was just normal discharge. this is even more likely if you're on hormonal birth control (like the pill, patch, etc.) hormones play a big part of the discharge cycle.

just to be 100% safe, go to your family doctor or gynecologist. make sure you get screened for std's just in case. you don't want to be taking yeast infection meds or antibiotics if there's nothing wrong with you.

Answer 9

if it is whitish clear then it may or maynot be a yeast infection. Most yeast infection is white clunky and thick. It may be bacterial. Also you have to take into consideration did you just finish your period or is it about to start, usually you get a slight discharge then too. The best thing is to see your doctor to rule out an STD

Answer 10

If it is whitish and not smelly then it could be a bacterial infection. Since they had on the news lately how you can get this virus that gives you cervical cancer via sex, I would say go to the doctor and make sure. If nothing else, they can give you a cream that makes that irritating discharge go away!

Answer 11

I'm not a doctor, but if it doesn't itch or burn it's natural. It changes consistency and color as your body goes through the ovulation part of your menstrual cycle. Get a checkup and ask for a specific test for STDs if there's any possibility you could have been exposed to one. As Sarah G said, when you get worked up sexually your body also secretes a natural lubricant that's usually clear.
