Hi, I have a rather embarrassing problem. Because of the way it makes me feel, I am ashamed to go to the doctor. I have some kind of vaginal discharge. Sometimes there is a lot of it and sometimes it is almost unseen. The discharge changes color but, fortunately, does not have a smell. I am desperate. What can be the cause of this strange stuff in my underwear?
Hi, vaginal discharges can be a quite normal thing. It is produced by cervical glands. During the menstrual cycle it can differ. However, the characteristics of the discharge in your case may point to an underlying medical condition. You see, if the discharge changes considerably in the amount and the color, there could be an infection present. There can be a lot of things that can cause this condition. Yeast infection and sexually transmitted disease are the most common. You must see a doctor since he is the only one who can make the diagnosis and determine the right course of treatment. There is nothing to be ashamed about. If you further postpone the visit to the medical expert, you risk of getting the possible infection in even worse form and even cause infertility.
