Answer 1

I think u shud get a new doctor n have ur self examined to c if it is another outbreak of chlamydia but i don't think it is but just to be certain check a gyno.I am really led into believing tht it is mucus,ur description suits the following so read n see.
This is a normal situation its called mucus it helps to clean the walls of ur vagina .Almost all teens n women have vaginal discharge.It may be white, yellow, clear, stretchy, or sticky. It may be there on some days and not on others, some women see it daily. Usually Normal discharge looks a bit like egg white - a clear or off-white sticky goo. When it dries normal discharge can turn a light-yellow color, so it’s normal to find a yellowy stain in your panties.
Also It also acts as a lubricant during sexual intercourse.Before or after ur period persons have an increase in this discharge depending on your family background and diet and you as an individual one gets either a high or low discharge. have a high discharge. Its okay just drink water so tht is diluted so it won't have .

Answer 2

Ask around and find a GOOD OB-GYN. I'm not so concerned since you say there is no foul odor or itching....but it sounds very annoying and worrisome for YOU. I don't know your age or how sexually active you are. If you had chlamydia then you know the symptoms. Are they the same? Does the doctor you saw know you previously had chlamydia? The symptoms with chlamydia are a thick, white odorless discharge, but also accompanied by itching and burning and dull abdominal pain. Some things I am not privy to...was you ltbf also treated for chlamydia and are you still with him? Both partners need to be treated at the same time or you will just keep passing it back and forth. When you do find that Dr. be sure to tell him EVERYTHING or he won't know what to look for.
I wish you good luck.

Answer 3

All that stuff below is medical advice, I have that problem too and was very concerned. I told my mom and she said its normal, just drink alot of water and it should reduce the amount you release, avoid soda and juice cuz those have alot of sugar.

This white cream substance on your underwear that you are describing sounds completely normal and is called vaginal discharge. This begins at the onset of puberty and is your body's natural way of cleaning and moistening the vaginal area. This is due to an increased level in hormones that also happens as part of puberty. You will probably notice a change in your vaginal fluid as you go though each menstrual cycle (thickness versus thinness, increase versus decrease).

Vaginal fluid also increases during sexual arousal whether it is due to a dream, masturbation or sexual activity. Again, this is completely normal. This provides your vaginal area with natural lubricant to make sexual activity more pleasurable.

Having said all this, if your vaginal fluid has changes in color (greenish or yellowish), odor and amount or becomes itchy or irritating, it could be a sign of an infection. If this is happening, you need to seek medical attention to be diagnosed and treated, especially if you are sexually active,

Answer 4

You can go to the health department and they can do an exam, free of charge. Sometimes yeast infections don't itch. The yellow color concerns me this may be a recurrence of chlamydia, especially if you were re-exposed or did not complete all of the antibiotic treatment. Seek out another doctor if you are not comfortable with the one you have! You should get this checked out asap, non treatment can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which can cause sterility. Please be careful, best wishes,

Answer 5

I'd just take a home pregnancy test! Don't go by symptoms alone, the test will determine for sure whether you're pregnant or not. Why live with the doubt? If you are not pregnant, you should still see your OBGYN, those symptoms are just too weird for a normal cycle. Maybe you have a hormonal imbalance that can be taken care of with treatment/prescription. See your Doc.

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure chlymidia never truly goes away, even with treatment.

However about the discharge...

Your body simply just might produce a little extra. If you are really concerned about it, a second opinion from a different doctor couldn't hurt.

Answer 7

If it's white it's usually just your system cleaning that area of bacteria and such. It's probably nothing to worry about. Your doctor is probably the best advise to follow if he knows your entire medical history, if he has done an exam and found nothing unusual then there's nothing unusual.
Good luck

Answer 8

That's a pretty poor doctor there. He didn't take a smear of the substance and send it to the lab? That should be his first step if he couldn't tell right away.

I agree; this doctor does not seem to care about you. Is he/she a GP or OB/GYN?

Answer 9

That is normal. It happens usually around olvulation. Mine is white, not clear like they say it is supposed to be, but it is the same thing. If it gets really yellow or it starts to smell, then it is usually an infection.

Answer 10

i have heard different explanations for this. some women are more easily aroused than other women, so when this extra lubrication dries out, it turns into a thicker (sometimes yellowish) discharge. other women get a thicker, drier discharge due to hormone fluctuations during their monthly cycle.
chlamydia (to my knowledge) will not spontaneously re-occur. if you are sexually active however, get tested.
but i dont think you have anything to worry about :)
