I'm 22 years old and have been with the same partner for almost 2 years now. For about 8 months I have been noticing a thick white discharge on my underware and during sex. It has very little to no odor, and doesn't have a pattern of when it is thick and when there is less. It isn't any sort of yeast infection or vaginal infection. I've been checked for all STD's and infections. This year alone, I've been to a gynocologist three seperate times and every time she says she can not see anything but normal discharge. It is almost as if I can't get to the doctor on a day when it is bothersome. All she has said is that I am a little dry.

My main concern is for my partner and my sex life. 9 times out of 10 white lotion type discharge will cover his entire penis when we have sex. It dries out any natural lubrication I have. It actually starts to hurt him because it causes friction inside of my vagina, which in turn leads to less sex. We have tried many kinds of water based lubricants and it doesn't help, it only makes the friction worse shortly after using it. I do not feel sexy at all anymore because of this problem. He can't perform oral sex on me anymore because the discharge has a bitter taste.

I've been on Ortho-Tricyclen Lo for about 2 years now. Before that regular strength Orthi-Tricyclen. I know birth control pills can cause an increase in discharge. I also use Summers Eve non-scented hypo-alergenic feminine wash instead of regular body wash. I don't use a douche. I wear cotton underware. I have a slightly stressful job, which I know can contribute to increased discharge.

I just don't know what else to do. Would an IUD or some other form of non-hormonal birth control be any better? I've had yeast infections in the past. Is there some sort of medication I can take to decrease the discharge? Maybe a medication for lubrication? Is anyone else having this problem?

Ok I have the same problem I also have the think white discharge that comes out every now and then. But when me and my boyfriend have sex it gets all over his dick and causes me to stay DRY during sex. Its so frustrating becasue becasue of the discharge it causes sex to be uncomfortable for me and i hardly ever want to do it. Lubs don't work for me either. I don't know what it is I can't ever get wet and when I finally get wet I don't stay that way. we somethimes use spit but that dry up after a few seconds. I also went to the doctor and she said it was cormal discharge and wasn't a yest inf. So trust me i know what ur going through!!!
