Clear Fluid during period Normal?

its called the skenes gland in women too, and it may seem like a good theory at first, but female ejaculation comes through the urethra, so unless you also pee out of your vagina, in which case you should be worried about things other than what kind of discharge youre having, thats not whats happening. again, this is your ignorance of the female reproduction system. ignorance isnt a bad thing, it just means you dont know something.

I had the same problem for three consecutive periods and it was a real big issue for me since the water discharge was so much and would leak to my pants. So I spoke to my Doctor and he was like it's congested vaginal fluids that break out suddenly when your muscles relax, he also told me to just see how it goes for the following month. I had the same issue the next month but felt like there'd be no use visiting the doctor again. Now the solution I'm going to suggest IS NOT scientific in any way and would seem embarrassing but hey I'm just trying to help. I tried masturbating the two or three days before my period and it worked! the first time I tried this the liquid leak during my period was significantly less, the second even better and the third period all the symptoms where gone! I don't know if it would work the same way with sex but I'm guessing the main idea is to get the vaginal liquids out and your muscles to relax before your period starts.

 I also know that this has nothing to do with cysts in my case because I have monthly ultrasounds since I've had endometriosis (a type of cysts) in the past and had them treated. IF you are suspecting a cyst then please go ahead and tell your doctor, it's easier to treat it in the early stages then have it grown into a large size and be forced to do a laparascopy. 

I have this problem to but I'm using a pad? So it can't just be from a Tampon. 

Could it be that the blood is separating into solid red blood cells and clear-yellowish plasma, and the plasma is what is being seen and smelled?

Hi, I just wrote a lengthy answer to this and it didn't go thru so I'll try one more time. I had been having this same problem for a couple of months so I had a blood panel done 3 days ago and the Dr.'s office called me the next day AFTER hours which is a first for me and the Dr. on call said he wanted me to come in to the office before they opened the next morning (yesterday). It turns out I have severe anemia and he said it meant that something must be on my uterus causing a ton of bleeding. I have had terrrible bleeding for years by the way. Anyway, he did an internal ulrasound and sure enough found a benign uteran tumor. (don't freak, it sounds much worse than it is I guess). The thing they are most concerned about is my anemia because he said I would need a blood transfusion before it can be surgically removed. So...I'm on iron tab's 3x's per day now for the next few days to see if my body will respond to that first, and then I go in for surgery sometime next week. I guess it's always best to see a Dr. if at all possible... Good luck to you all, and I hope this helps at least some of you!!! (by the way, he said the clear stuff is just part of the blood...maybe serum?) Again, good luck to everyone!!!<3

I do not believe it is ovarian cysts rupturing. I've experienced that before, and it's extremely painful, rivaling childbirth. I've never had this happen before, but it happened to me last night and has me absolutely puzzled. I was hoping it was a sign of menopause, since I'm in my early 40's, but I've seen many young people report having this problem as well. It makes absolutely no sense.

My future wife has been experiencing this as well but only when her menstration is late which has been happening more often lately not sure if her menstration is just syncing up with her co workers or not but not the point I was concerned about this when she told me about what has been happening after 4 months of keeping it secret I'm glad that its not an isolated situation and with more women experiencing this I feel there is a better chance for doctors to figure this issue out I hope everyone here finds an answer to this and you all have my support being strong and courageous enough to confront this topic and my thoughts are with all of you and my partner

Hi I am exactly the same the only way I cud describe the smell was sayin it smelt toxic. I dnt think it is anything to be worried about since alot of people r sayin they hav it to but it is weird

It's the liquid from your period discharge. It's a little tricky to explain so bear with me. The blood and lining comes out through your cervix and meets the tampon, and soaks in. If your flow is particularly ample the tampon gets saturated. The thicker stuff can't go anywhere but the heavier liquid sinks toward the bottom of the tampon, a bit like when you filter coffee. Every time you move the tampon gets squeezed a little bit and the water leaks out and travels down the string. It might be worth switching up to a higher absorbency, although it happens to me (typically throughout the night) with a super plus tampon.

just happend like 5min ago with me and ruiend my fav underwear :/ it always happens at random times with me and (i think its just me with this) most of it missesy tampon -_- im 15 and not on any pill. i also have crazy heavy periods and horribal cramps :/ but back to the question, i think a book i read mentiond the clear stuff ill repost if it did or didnt when i get back (7 hour drive)

I'm 33 years old. For the first time in my life I have experienced this. Woke up and had to run to the bathroom, felt like I was bleeding everywhere. Except I found no blood, just clear liquid. My tampon ( ultra size!) was full and super heavy that it was falling out. It was full of the clear liquid. With just a little blood. ( started my period yesterday). My periods over the years have been really messed up. Only bleeding every 3 or 4 months. Whenever. Only recently have i increased myagnesi and my periods are coming every month, but are usually really clotty. And Ultrasize tampons are necessary. This, after 22 years of having a period is rather alarming. And it does seem to have a slightly ammoniac smell. I have pcos, 3 kids, also had a uterus septum surgically removed about 11 years ago. Never in all my days has my period done this. Even with all my weird cycle issues. It's concerning that women have been posting this for 2 years, and still no one has a clue!?

ive been on the depo for a few weeks and have been bleeding through tampons every hour or less. im also getting the clear fluid. i have to wear a tampon and a pad. i go to the doctor monday, hopfully she will know......i had a baby a month ago.

I have just been diagnosed with PCOS and had to have surgery to tell me that because my Doctors had no idea what was causing my mystery pains (walking up stairs, during sex..etc.) on my left side where my left ovary is. I experience severely wet days as of late and it seems like just on my period. I am on Implanon and am twenty years old. Life has been very comfortable and down right disruptive. I hope to find an answer!

Leaking so much that it is visible on the outside of your pants is in no way normal. No one should have to live with it. I also had a lot of stomach issues and doctors seemed stumped. I was sooo skeptical of everyone now suddenly having a gluten allergy. However I went gluten free and this issue went away!!! If it's really bothering you it's tough but worth a try. No wheat, bread, or pasta and rice and potato are your starch. If it works for you too please post to encourage others. So glad this humiliating issue is gone.

I think you are right. Since they use genetically modified cotton in tampons I truly believe this is a side effect some of us are experiencing. I wish we would all have said the brand we use. Tampax/pear
