Is this Discharge normal? :(?

Question

Well there are days that I don't take a bath and I get discharge before and after my Mestration.
My discharge is like brownish like, and as I know, every woman has a different sign of a discharge, it can be white or off-white, but I do know I don't have Green,Gray or yellow.

Since I don't take a bath everyday, is it normal that it my vigina can stink? when I take a bath it doesn't stink at all. But just wondering....when it stinks, its only when I smell my underwear to examinate it and have not taken a bath yet.

God people, is it wrong to observe some certain things and not be aware that It might not be normal?! God you guys just need to help me not to do crap >:(

I have been searching in the net alot so some of the certain things. that I should be aware of.

like Smell and symptoms.

Answer 1

Yes, discharge is normal. However, contrary to a "nurse's" opinion, you should not douch. There are bacteria in you vagina that are supposed to be there. These bacteria help protect you from bacterial infections. Douching will wash out the normal bacteria and make you more susptible to bacterial vaginal infections. There is going to be some odor because the normal bacteria are constanly working, breaking stuff down. One product of this working is the odor. Try using some scented product, but by all means, do not use a douche!

Answer 2

Don't douche, worst thing you can do, and if you are over sensitive using anything to make it smell pretty down there can only cause infections and make it worse. A shower not a bath will actually work better, especially if you can use the shower to aim in that area. You don't even have to use soap for awhile as that may be irritating it even more. And yes people I know all about the other purpose of Mr.Showerhead.lol Wear cotton underwear, avoid anything with spandex, avoid tight pants too. If nothing helps see your doc.

Answer 3

Sounds normal to me, it may be brownish around the menstral cycle becuase of the blood. And it is normal for women to have discharge. The longer you go w/ out bathing i'm sure the worse or more likely it is to have a smell to it. I wouldn't be alarmed, but if you are really worried about it or it is possible you could have an STD then you should go to a doctor or health dept and request that they do STD tests. Better safe then sorry right.

Answer 4

Being a female you need to bathe daily and more than once during the summer months. If you notice that you have a discharge or an unpleasant odor coming from yourself then you need to see a doctor and get on some medication to treat whatever is wrong with you down there.

Answer 5

It is normal. Take bath every day. Take twice a day bath when u are in periods. I dont know if u r staying in a cold place. If so better take hot water bath. Wash your body including private parts.

Answer 6

I'm prone to brownish discharge, and my underwear have a tendency to smell, but my doctor says its normal. Something called anal seepage?
