Secreating Stuff?????
Posted: 10-20-03 20:43pm

Hello all,

since I can remember I have always had a stain on my underwear that wouldn't go away. I was always kind of imbarassed about it. When my mom found out she seemed kind of worried, but then said it ws my body realeasing vitamins(she's a nurse). Well, it's still going on, and now that i'm getting older, there could be certain situations where it would be strange, aka..With a guy. It hasn't come up yet, and it won't for a while(trying to wait), but what should I do?


All responses welcome!

P.S. Sometimes odors involved.

Well if your mom is a nurse why was she worried? Its discharge, and women get it until they reach menopause. It starts when you hit puberty, and like your period, you always have it. Some women probably have it more than others. I know that it's a nuisance to me because sometimes it feels liek I just had my period and its just discharge, alot of discharge. But its normal, your body is removing stuff from your body to keep you healthy.

You're definitely not the only one with this problem... I have it too. I know what you mean when you say that its not mucusy but more like you slightly wet yourself....Ive had discharge for about a year or so now, and its just about everyday...Ive been "sexual" with guys, but havent gone all the way yet and I have never had a problem....If youre truly worried about it though, I would just make sure you take a shower right before you hang out with your guy, and even put a panty liner on before you go to meet up with him...But no worries, if he truly loves u he'll love u stain or no stain! Laughing lol best of luck hun, if you need any tips pm me anytime!

Oh and as for ideas of how to try to get rid of it, or to help minimize the amount...Drink lots of water...Ive been drinking about 25-50oz of water a day, and it goes away...Water's great for your body anyways, its like the "all around make everything better regiment" lol

Ladies...It doesn't matter what you do, discharge is not going to go away. It's the natural way that your vagina cleans itself. If it has an odor to it you might want to get it checked out. That could mean you have an infection.

Best wishes!

Yeah, that discharge stuff is quite annoying. I asked my step-mother who is an rn about it, and she says it is normal... Just like most of you have said. I have found over the past few months that a daily shower and application of a layer of babypowder really helps. At the very least it make me smell good.

As for the extra water, people are always telling me to drink more water... I guess I should try that out. I just hate wearing pantyliners every day of the week... Or wet underwear.

Bacterial Infections
Posted: 12-15-03 15:09pm

In response to angles3 i'm with you on the bacterial infections. I get them monthly and I am at wits end.. Anyone with suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ( they arent yeast infections as I have had them many times too.) I have tried many things but maybe someone out there can help.

Thanks for the info but I am more concerned about how I keep getting them and why I keep getting them. I am very discouraged because as I mentioned I usually get them almost monthly. Any suggestions

My discharge is thicker. And gross. I have to wear a pantyliner a lot of the month too. I should try drinking more water. Since I started using feminine wash sens. Skin only on that area, things have been better. Also, u should only wear white cotton underwear if u have a prob with getting infections. Dyes are bad. Just so u know thought I don't do this. Ihave bras/undies in every color (they have to match my outfits....)

Gross Discharge
Posted: 12-20-04 15:25pm

I've got gross discharge that is sometimes thick, white and cloudy. Is it an infection? Will it go away by itself? Do you know what will happen if I have it for a long time without getting it checked out? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
