vaginal discharge does not smell but is sour to taste , no s

I HAVE AN ANSWER FINALLY!! Look up Cytolytic Vaginosis. Basically it's the opposite of a yeast infection. Overgrowth of probiotic lactobacilli causes their biproduct, lactic acid, to be omnipresent. Recommended therapy is cyclical (based on menstrual cycle -- this may be continuous but at least it's cheap!) baking soda sitz baths (or I use 2-4 Tbsp of baking soda in about 2-3 inches of bath water) nightly for my premenstrual week and twice a week the rest of the time. It really worked!! I guess it's super commonly misdiagnosed, with doctors feeling pestered or harangued pretty often. It sucks. But anyway, hope this works for some of you!

I've also been diagnosed with a low-grade abnormal lesion on my cervix, but hadn't associated that with the bitter taste and excessiveness of my discharge. I also hadn't considered birth control, but now that I think of it, I was fine when I had the implanon, and the changes to my discharge started shortly after I swapped to the pill. Perhaps I will print these comments and take them to my doctor, who also insists there is nothing wrong with me!

hello im 13 and i "masturbate" i licked my fingers to lubricate them again and my discharged was like silver or gray and it tasted a bit bitter uhmm im too nurvous to tell the doctor what should i do

I have had this same problem on and off for several years! The bitter tast sometimes a slight white pasty discharge. I have read all these posts.These are some things I have in commen. For a period of time I had irregular paps . I was then tested for std's and it came up with hpv which leads to these pre cancerouse cells on the cervix. I showed abnormal cells and a biopsy was taken, everything was fine! When I had both of my boys I was tested for group B strep and was positive! I too have asked the gyn about this problem and was also given the same answer everyones vagina is differant! Everything is fine don't worry about it. It's easy not to worry about it when you don't have this problem!!! I will try everything. I did notice somethings differant then some of you. I have this problem on and off not all the time, but when i do have it , it sticks around a while. When I was put on the nuva ring for almost two years I had no white pasty sour tasting discharge!!!! I was back to my norm. Too bad for me that the nuva ring caused me to have some pretty life threatening bloodclots. So that options out. This problem did not start untill I had children. The first child was when I was 19 and I am now 27! I have an apointment with a new gyn tomorrow. I will ask her about this cytoltic vaginosis! I will try the folic acid and asidophillus. If that does not work I will try the acid-a-cal from the health food store. If that does not work I will try the 2-4 Tbsp of baking soda in 2-3 inches of water twice a week. If that does not work I will try the tampon with half 3% hydrogen peroxide and half water. I will repost and let you know step by step which ones work and which ones don't. This problem is deff a huge self esteam downer!!!

i am reading these posts and i just want to cry. i have the same problem. i have been seeing the same guy for almost 2 years and its gotten to the point where i am avoiding sex. during sex i feel so much moisture he actually slips out sometimes. after sex there is a great deposit of my discharge on him. it is thick and white.
also after having sex, and then having oral sex i can taste myself on him and it is so bitter. i never let him go down on me anymore.
he asked me what it was and i told him it was just discharge and it was normal, but i cant stand it anymore. i have an appt on tuesday, but i am afraid the dr wont have any answers for me.
i have the murena iud. i am on my 5th year with it and it has to be changed this summer.
i dont think that is what it is though, i never had this issue with my previous boyfriend.

this is a weird thought, but maybe me and my boyfriend are not sexually compatable, and when our juices get together it makes this horrible mess??? i really hope not, and im really looking for an answer.
i will mention this site to my dr, and i will write back if i get an answer.

hello ladies! i know this post is old, but i am 22 and i suffer from the same "disease". i found your post in hope of an explanation to my problem but when i couldnt find a answer i continued to search the web. i am 99% sure we all have a newly found disease called Stress Urinay Incontinence. Its when your pelvic walls are weak and causes a slight leakage (often confused as discharge). this leakage occurs during laughing, coughing, etc. you probably can notice and feel it. i know i coughed after readig i and now i am definite of my problem. it can be resolved with kegel exercises and or surgery. visit WEBMD. its a great site and there or in depth videos on this topic.

stress urinary incontinence, its not your boyfriend sweetie. read my post below ask your dr about it then get back with me okay

Hi iv read a lot of the comments and i have the same problem. I have found that using a couple of drops or tee tree oil in your bath does help and is a anti-fungal.

I went to the doctors, and she found nothing wrong with me.  She said it wasn't cyclic vaginitis, they took swabs and nothing came out of it.  She recommended vitamin D, and acidophilus, which I have been taking everyday for months and it still hasn't helped.
I just had my Mirena replaced, I am really hoping that isn't why I have this (because of the hormones) but I can't risk having a baby.
I am really hoping someone can figure this out.
I don't think its stress incontinence.  That is when you have trouble holding your pee, and I have no problems with that.

So it seems like we all suffer from the same thing, that isn't one of the "regular diagnosis", and that our doctors are either unable or unwilling to help us get rid of this.  I just want to be normal again.  :(

Wow. This strain has been going on forever and no concrete answers!! Just like a lot of you I went to the gyno and ran all STD tests and all came back neg. She told me I had BV the first visit and perscribed me metronidazole pills and a vaginal cream that started with tetra something... Two weeks later my bf was going down on me and told me I tasted really funny. I had to investigate for myself and let me tell you it was SUPER SOUR, it almost made my tongue numb. I went back to the gyno with my concerns and she informed me that I still had traces of BV- only 4 weeks since I took all those meds! Again she perscribed me the pills and the cream. I also had all tests for HPV and STD's taken and again they all came back neg. I finished both the pills and cream and I taste more sour than ever. I am afraid that this won't go away and it is embarrassing. My doc advised me to douche with baking soda and water a few times a week but I keep reading that this can CAUSE BV. I continue to have slight white discharge but it has NO ODOR at all- only the extremely different, sour taste. Also, I am taking the generic form of Yasmin, Ocella. I read on here that the effects it has on your PH balance down there make you taste bad and that switching to a low dose BC will help. I am planning on taking acidopholus pills, eating lots of activia, switching to low dose BC, cutting down my alcohol intake and possibly douching w/ baking soda. I'll make sure to post if any of this helps. Also, I am on my third month of accutane. I increased my dosage to 60mg a day last month. Has anyone out there had a similar experience while taking accutane? I know how many side effects it has and I have never had this problem before taking it.

I have had this same issue usually 1 week after my period. A thick white discharge with a tart taste and some cramping. I was told by my cousin that my body was highly acidic and to take oregano capsules.
I did and it works for me. Give it a try.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I noticed it hasn't been updated in awhile though. But I'll share my story.

Ok ladies.  First of all, I'm an ob/gyn nurse.  Secondly a 45yr old with grown kids and very sexually active my whole life.  I just wanted to let everyone know that an acidic taste/odor to a vagina is very NORMAL! Espeically if you're nearing your period.     Eating red meats, smoking, alcohol, onions, garlic, asparagus and other stronger foods will affect the smell and taste of your vagina. 

Always check with your doctor first to rule out the possibility of any type of infections.  If your tests are all negative  then your va jay jay may just be normally acidic.

Yeast is easier to spot due to the white discharge and itching.  Bacterial vaginosis usually has a more foul odor. Fishy type as well as itching.  If you experience any itching especially after sex - you may have a bacterial infection. Also the odor is worse after sex.  They're not always easy to detect in the beginning. Research home remedies for bacterial vaginosis because if you are prescribed antibiotics from your doctor such as metrodonizal (flagyl) you're likely to get a yeast infection as a side effect of the antibiotic.  Since it kills all the good bacterial and disrupts the good bacteria/yeast balance and allows the yeast to take over. 

There is a new product on the market that is awesome!  A bit pricey but very worth it.  It's called RePHresh Pro-B.  You can purchase it at a drug store or wal-mart.  It reduces yeast and bacteria to maintain feminine health.  One pill a day.

Prevention:  During sex we usually participate in foreplay. This may include his mouth during oral sex as well as his fingers then of course his penis.   Here's something to think about..... Where do odors come from? Mouth odor, foot odor, armpit odor, "sweaty balls", genital odor?? It's all from BACTERIA.  When he inserts a finger that has touched anything from money, houshold items, the dog, etc he's picking up bacteria on his finger.  If you want to avoid as much bacteria entering your vagina as possible always have your mate shower, brush his teeth and wash his hands before sex. 

Have a new partner and don't want to make him feel like you're accusing him of being dirty?  Try to something  like "We've been out dancing or in the hot sun or....(whatever makes ya sweat), I'd love to have a little fun lets wash up so we're both pleasant for each other" 

Now, if you're too acidic for your or your partners liking there ARE things you can do to change the taste.  First of all, we all know water does a body good.  Secondly, pineapple juice makes your womanly fluids taste sweeter.  I always buy the Dole 100% pure pineapple juice. Do not get juice cocktails or juice flavored.  Make sure it's pure pineapple juice.  If you're eating alot of onions, garlic or asparagus - expect your womanly juices to taste not so good. 

 

I've been on these boards to try to find an answer, never got anywhere! My own cure; I started using greek yogurt as a vaginal cream and the smell and taste went away in no time.
Highly recommend you to do the same!
(Eating yogurt is always advised to keep vaginal balance, why not put the specific cultures right in there?)
