What Is This Puss Or Discharge?? Posted: 09-29-04 20:57pm
Hi
i sometimes have these days where I have
discharge on my underwear and it gets
pretty heavy and smells kind of funny...Im
not sure what this is but for day or two
it would be really uncomfortable b/c I
would keep having to take toilet paper and
make sure it doesnt get onto my
undergarments.....This is super
embarassing to share but since im
anonymous its ok
anyways it feels like everyone is going
thru something so...Could someone help
me????
Thanx
ps I have had my period already and it is
regular scheduled...This has been going on
for a year now

Please don't be embarrassed.You need to go
to the doctor and quickly!You obviously
have some type of infection and you need
treatment asap!There are several types of
vaginal infections and all are
annoying,but some can cause problems with
your reproductive health.Do not put off
going to the doctor!!These infections are
common and easily treated and there is
nothing to be ashamed of.Best of luck to
you.Patty

It could just be normal discharge - I get
quite a lot and you can read my post under
women's health, as i'm not sure whether
mine is normal or not...
I saw the doctor about my discharge, as I
get it every day and it always stains my
knickers so I was worried, but the swabs
the doctor took came back negative for
bacterial or yeast infection so mine must
be normal!
I think everyone gets some discharge,
especially in the middle of your cycle
when you are ovulating and in the week
before your period. But it is definitely
worth telling your doctor to rule out any
infection. You can tell if it is worrying
by its colour - normal discharge is
white/cream (sorry if that sounds gross!)
