Excessive vaginal discharge?? How do i know???

Guest · Guest

Hi,

Im 19 years old and ever since i can remember i've been producing what i think may be excessive vaginal discharge? But how do i know whats normal? I'd say i produce about a table spoon at least everyday and often have to change my underwear during the day. Any help?

I'm 18 and I've also experienced this for as long as i can remember. is this abnormal?

im 17 and ive had this problem too, at least ever since i hit puberty. but ive had a pap smear before and if i had some kind of infection or std it would have been discovered then. so i'm pretty sure its alright.

I'm also 18 and have been experiencing the same thing... I was starting to get a little scared about the whole situation

Hi everybody, let's see if I can help. Smile

Some women naturally produce more discharge and that's normal. Using a breathable pantiliner will help and washing everyday to help feel fresh (don't douche, it'll only mess with the natural PH and it's best to let your body do what it does best)

Discharge changes through out the cycle (as it should){see the book "taking charge of your fertility, it explains it all really well}. Before ovulation, the discharge can be very wet and is slippery when felt (can be whitish, like lotion-smooth or clear and gloopy with a big stretch--this is prime fertilie time, good to note if trying to conceive Wink

).
Once ovulation happens, the discharge becomes thick, white, sometimes yellow.
Evidence in the panti will be: during fertile time (pre ovulation), a wet circle. After ovulation, more of a line.

BUT if the discharge is wet with clumps of white in it, it's probably a yeast infection. best have this confirmed by a doctor (or nurse practitioner). I had a yeast infection for months, as a teenager, and didn't even know it because it wasn't all that itchy but I did have discharge that I thought was normal (I didn't have this great resource to find info out)
AND if it has a foul odor, get it checked out. It's normal for discharge to have some odor but if it's a bad odor, have it checked.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if I left out a detail.

I am 19 and have had this problem since they day I started my period, when I was 11, except, mine is smelly and sticky, I know I don't have yeast infections because my doctor has checked, she says she doesn't know what it is, I wash every day, sometimes twice a day, and I only wear cotton panties, if anyone has an idea what this problem might be please email me, my name is Whitney (obviously) and my email is xx0xx_addicted_2_life_xx0xx@yahoo.com... the 0's are zeros, obviously the o's are letters!!!
