I've read a lot about vaginal discharge and and the different topics posted about it on different websites. I'm 20 years old and wear a tampon everyday because my discharge is that bad it almost feels like i peed my pants. It's usually white or yellowish and it doesn't smell the best. IT embarasses me when im having sex because im sure my partner can smell it but i've never brought it up to him. I've had this discharge basically at all times since i've been in about 6th grade which was before i even had my period. i've been to the doctor, been tested for STDs (negative), been treated for more yeast infections than i cant count, treated myself with monostat for yeast infections and it always comes back. the most ive gone without the discharge is after treating it for a yeast infection is about 2 days and sure enough i'm back to wearing a tampon. if i dont wear a tampon, i change mty underwear often which is annoying. i dont know if anyone reading this has a better answer for me, but i thought it can't hurt to get someone elses opinion. the doctor said every womans body is different.. i know this but to have to wear a tampon everyday? thats not even healthy. %-) id appreciate any feedback.

Not sure of the problem, but you can get an infection if you wear tampons in when you don't have ur period. Its not only unhealthy for you. If you wear tampons too much, like everyday, all day even changing them often...you can get toxic shock syndrom(tss) which can be verry verry bad...even fatal. As far as whats going on with you. If you've been to a doctor, and they only treat you for STD's and it turns out you don't have any, what have they done about it? what did they tell you was wrong? You should try going to several doctors to get second or third opinions. Hope all goes well.

my doctor basically just told me every womans body is different so its not unusual. but when they do do any kind of test they say i have a yeast infection but i have this ALLLLLL the time so what do i just have a permanent yeast infection? i suppose the only think i can do is continue to get it checked out.

sometimes one doctor isn't always right, no matter how many times you go back to them...you need other doctors opinions, not saying change your doctor, but try others, maybe they can see something that yours doesn't? It's always good to get a second opinion.

Im so glad that i found this post! I worry about this topic everyday, im 18 years old and have the same EXACT problem. I understand every girl is different, But it cant be healthy. Ive been doing this for years. Since i can remember, and my discharge started before i even had a period. Ive been to multiple doctors, and they all say the same thing. "Its normal, nothing is wrong with you." But the fact that i always feel like im peeing myself, because there is such a huge amount just makes me uncomfortable in my own skin. Ive tried to wear panty liners, but you can still feel when it is happening. And that as well is uncomfortable. Im not sure what it is, but i think whatever it may be. You are not alone, we arent alone. HOWEVER, we should stop wearing them. :) Just to be safe. My local doctor knows that i do this, and she said that it will pervent me from being able to have children. So thats something to think about :/ I hope you figure out what it is, if so! Id LOVEEEEEE to find out !

OH MY GOSH!!! I have this SAME problem!!!! I'm afraid to use a tampon cuz its unhealthy and I dont wanna get tss!!! Instead, I use pantiliners. That way, it doesn't feel like I peed my pants, and it doesn't stink!

Have you ever been treated for a bacterial infection alot of bacterial infections have the same symptoms as yeast infections do therefore the antibiotics helps for alittle while but doesnt cure the bacteria causing the discharge. also have them check for pid ( pelvic imflamatory disease) wearing tampons everyday can cause this as well as prolonged bacterial infections. i hope this helps.

Wearing a tampon everyday is not good. First thing you need to do is take it out and leave it out. Have you told your doctor that you wear one everyday? Secondly, go get checked out for PID, because wearing a tampon builds up bacteria and can grow up into your cervix and other places which is probably why your discharge is colored and has that fishy smell.

I've done this for years too and I just had twins 16 months ago. I just hate having wet underware, but I've never gotten an infection from doing it. Although I wish I would dry up a bit lol. I guess all we can do is embrace it.

Okay I know this was forever ago and idk if you still struggle with this but I just went to the dr from the exact same things and my std test all came back negative and I ended up haven a form of strep on my vaginal walls from wearing tampons all the time

I have the same issue and have been wearing tampons all the time for a really long time. I had twins 5 years ago though and I think my discharge def increased after having them. It was still a lot before them though. Did yours increase after having Your twins?

You probably have a hormonal imbalance, im going through the same thing and i suspect that something ia wrong with my hormones. Try bringing that idea up to your doctor.
