iv'e been getting this white discharge
from my vagina for quite a while now. i
have been sexually active for 2 years now.
i always get treatments for the discharge
but nothing seems to work. it always comes
back! it dosnt feel itchy or irritating so
im unsure of what it is. does anybody else
have this problem? and what did you do to
prevent it? thanks

Discharge is normal and you will always
have it. You cant get rid of it. Thats
your body's way of cleaning your vagina.
Some women have more than others but that
doesn't make you abnormal.

The vaginal canal has a mucus membrane.
The vagina produces a mucus discharge
continually throughout the month however
the consistency will change with hormonal
levels. This mucus in normal and performs
several functions. It lubricates the
vaginal canal and allows sperm to "swim"
during ovulation so the egg can be
fertilized. The discharge can be thick and
clumpy at times and thin and stringy other
times, depending where you are in your
monthly cycle. Generally, if there is no
foul odor or discoloration you are
producing normal mucus.

Vaginal discharge. Posted: 03-10-08 00:21am
When you say you get treatments for the
discharge, are you meaning that you go to
a doctor and they do a culture? Because
you might have a yeast infection. I have a
yeast infection that won't go away. And
It's a clumpy white discharge. Every time
I go to the gyno, she does a slide test
under the microscope and tells me that
there is still yeast. So you might want to
go to your gynecologist and have a culture
done. My discharge before this yeast
infection was always clear but a little
thick during ovulation.
Good Luck.

I have very close to the same thing and
today the doctor said I have bacterial
Vaginitis, which can be cleared with
antobiotics. you should just go to the
doctor and get a culture done like was
said before

Usually when the vagina cleans itself it
has a clear or white discharge as long as
it does not smell funny or it is yellow
your fine. Its just the vagina cleaning
the inside of its self where we can not
reach so we do not get a bacteria
infection or yeast infection
