I know some women have white discharge that resemble semen shortly before menstruation. But last night my wife had more chunky looking ...stuff. I tend to find it on me when I'm taking the condom off. But last night there was some material that was white, and kindof spongie. Anybody got any clues to this? It seems like it would be kindof bloody if it were a spontaneous abortion.

I've had a girlfriend who had a yeast infection, and it doesnt appear to be the same. Also, no smell.

It is normal to have clear to whitish discharge during and after sex. However if it is "chunky", it could be a yeast infection (ask your wife if she suspects she has it); otherwise it could be ovulation (her egg dropping). I tend to get an awful lot of discharge after sex. It all depends on how excited one gets. As long as the discharge is not foul smelling, everything should be just fine.

A vaginal infection is present when the normal vaginal discharge changes color, becomes heavier or smells different, or if there is itching, burning, swelling, or redness around the vagina.


A normal discharge does not smell bad and is not accompanied by redness, swelling, or itching. Most vaginal discharges are normal. A vaginal discharge is often present at some stages in the menstrual cycle. This discharge may be most noticeable at the middle of the cycle, which is close to the time of ovulation.


The most common form of vaginal infection is called bacterial vaginosis. Women with this infection have a large number of organisms called Gardnerella vaginalis, as well as many other organisms, in their vagina. If an infection is present, there will be a vaginal smell that is strongest after sexual intercourse, and perhaps an increased amount of thin vaginal discharge, which may be white or discolored.


A yeast infection, or Candida vaginitis, is another common type of vaginal infection. If this is present, there may be larger amounts of thick, white discharge, or no discharge at all. Other common symptoms include itching, swelling, irritation or redness around the vaginal area.


Trichomonas vaginitis, which is sometimes called "trick," is the third most frequent vaginal infection. Like bacterial vaginosis, this infection often causes an increased amount of discharge, which may be discolored. Sometimes, the discharge smells different. Itching may be present but is less likely than with a yeast infection.


In about one of every three women with vaginal symptoms, the cause of the symptoms may be harder to find. An infection of other parts of the urogenital system may be present, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia or herpes. Low hormone levels, related to menopause, or an allergy may also cause vaginal infections.

There is always discharge. The consistency/viscosity changes throughout the month as a woman progresses through her cycle. It can vary from library paste if not near ovulation to eggwhite/snot if close to ovulation time.

Could be a STD. I'd be careful. Maybe she's cheating on you and picked up something. My friend went through the same thing..

it sounds like she may have thrush ask her is she itchy there but even if not I would tell her to see a Dr the Dr will be able to tell her if it is or not. there are medications you can get if she would rather try these first. like Canesten or something like that. all the best of luck

its a fungal infection. Yes...whitish...curd like and usually odourless. Very common and a course of vaginal antifungal pessaries like Canesten should do the trick.

gross, it sound like she has a yeast infection. If she was having a miscarriage, I don't think she would be having sex.
