Hey! I've been having discharge from my vagina and its sometimes thick (cottage cheese like). It also carries a very unpleasant smell even after i shower. I'm not itching though. Additionaly, i experience bleeding after sexual intercourse. What's wrong with me??
"cottage cheese like" is the classic description of a yeast infection, but the symptoms of chlamydia are very similar. Unpleasant smell is also a symptom of both. most vaginal infections cause itching, but it IS possible to have an infection without itching.
bleeding after intercourse can be caused by a number of things, but since it seems that you already have an infection, that is the most likely. you should get checked by your doctor to determine what type of infection you have so you can receive proper treatment. although yeast infections mainly occur with women, it is possible for men to get it to, and they may not have symptoms, so tell your partner to see a doctor as well.

More than likely its Bacterial Vaginosis. You can get a perscription that is in a pill form which I can never keep down because of the nasty taste or you can get an oral gel called Metro-gel that is a 5 to 7 day application. I like that one much better. That will most def keep the smell away and the discharge. I wouldn't have sex while taking this medicine though. i always wait until I finish. Its normal though so its nothing to be ashamed about. It could come from smoking, changes in detergant, or color of ur underwear. I've heard lots of things that is a possibility. Every woman has bacteria in their bodies but some just get a little bit more than others at times.
