vaginal discharge - thick white, not a yeast infection - aff

I too have this issue, I have had it so long I can't remember before not having it (but I am pretty sure there was a time) It is a think paste (like the stuff you used in kindergarden) texture very white and yes turns into little balls.. But I have been check and check and check and the doc's keep saying there is nothing wrong, the last bit of info I got was helpful. When you are ovulating it is VERY normal to have this kind of discharge. So ladies check this out because I found that I was getting it around the time of ovulation and that it's normal. I too was very dry during sex,.until I met my new guy, he really takes his time down theread I find I don't need the lube anymore because there is more then enough wet already, so maybe have your guy try this. Sorry tried to keep this short and sweet, oh yes I am 27 (had these issues up until a few months ago, 8+ years) oh and when it was really bad I was eatting a ton of bread! Foods with a lot of yeast will cause it for some women as well. Have a great day Lady's and good luck!!

I do not take bc and still have the same issue. I exercise daily, eat all organic and healthy foods, and my bf and I are long distance so sex is limited and I have issues with it. my obgyn said that it is normal and it shouldnt be an issue. she also said to avoid salty foods... but again the issue is still there

I've been following this thread for years. Yes...YEARS...and still no solution to the problem. :( 

I think we're getting closer to one though. EvesGift and What is it now? are on to something interesting. I, too, started experiencing this mess after I took antibiotics for 2 root canals I had done. I regret taking them because ever since then my vagina has never been the same. This was ages ago (I was 18 and now I'm 31).

I have an appt. with a gastroenterologist to test for candida overgrowth. I'm hoping he can shed some light on this nightmare. All we can do is stay positive and hope for a solution. I will keep you girls posted on my results.

I have the same issue. Lubes don't do much good. Use your own saliva. I know it sounds weird! Coat the outside of your vagina in your own spit then do the same to his penis. Using YOUR saliva is less risky/painful because you aren't allergic to your own body fluids as opposed to using his. It works & feels good!!

I am 22 and I have two children and I have been having this problem before I was even having sex so its not because of not having children when me and my husband have sex its hard to stay wet and we don't use protection but he don't cum inside me either he pulls out and inside my vagina lips not inserted in my vagina but inside the base of it is almost like it is stuck on my lips and also inside when my husband "puts his fingers inside me" he tells me its there again and I am not one to be embarrest I have been married for two years but, its annoying and the doctors tells me nothing is wrong but if you ask me I think the Dr are full of it. Cause us woman when something is wrong with our bodies we know. And my discharge is thick white and sticky. No odor and ichy no signs of a yeast infection so what is it?

There could be two things. For one, if you are using latex condoms it could cause some dryness and irritation. Another thing could be dehydration. I've had similar problems and when I avoid latex and drink more water the situation improves. Hope this helps!

Hey, I'm 16 years old. I have been dealing with this same problem since even before I got my period, I always had small amounts of discharge then after my period I didn't notice it that much, but then after a few months of having a period I'd see it all the the time. It was a thick white discharge and it was a lot. After I had sex I noticed it started to become worse so my mom took me to the doctors. They tested me for stds and bv and yeast infection. It turned out I had a bacterial infection, but after that I still had the discharge. It has become worse and worse. It's so embarrassing and feels so gross when you're just sitting in class and you feel like you have you're period all day and all week. I'm going back to the doctors next month. I really hope someone can figure this out Because ill seriously flip out on every doctor. It's time they find a cure.

VickiGirl- I feel you. I had this junk when I was 16 too, even after being treated for BV. To you, and everyone, I honestly believe it is candida overgrowth, and parasites. I really truly do. Candida in our gut, and for some just the vagina. I REALLY honestly believe this is what it is! I can't treat it right now, because I am breast feeding my baby, but I would love if just one of you, would take my word for it, and do a cleanse, and get back to us. Do a good potent trusty candida cleanse and the humaworm. And if I'm wrong, atleast I will know where not to look, but I don't think I am this time. The cleanse and the balancing of hormones, and then w a probiotic like bio v. Which won't do a thing with out the system being clean or strong enough. I'm just asking that someone please try it, for me? I would do it for you, but I won't put my infant at risk. So it will be another couple months before I can. But I feel like this is the problem. After all the symptoms stated, and everything it isn't. And all my own research, trial, and error. And btw- how is the oil and lube treatment working for those trying? And yes, saliva is the best lube, but I'm getting so tired of having to stop to do so. Its embarrassing, and getting old, especially since I know my normal self doesn't need that. But def good point that to do that, that's def the best option. We can do this girls, I'm just asking that one of you believe in me enough to try it??? If it doesn't work, I will find something else. You girls can depend on me that I'm in this fight to see us all to success. Ok?

Thank you for your help. I will try this. I am so frustrated. I too have taken many pills and creams. Nothing seems to get rid of this. 

But I have a white coating in and around my vagina and little cuts. Why

Hello,

I have been dealing with the same issues as many of you ladies and as many of you have stated it's nice to know that I'm not alone, however I don't understand why we can't beat this thing. I noticed white discharge back in September 2012 and it is still here 7 months later. I too have been tested for everything under the sun and everything comes back normal or negative. The doctors keep telling me it's normal to have some discharge however I know my body and this type of discharge has never been "normal" for me. I've been with the same partner for a year and a half now and it has drastically affected our relationship. Luckily he has been very understanding of the situation but I'm the one who feels uncomfortable engaging in intercourse with him due to this discharge. The only time I notice that the discharge goes away is a few days before my cycle, while I'm on my cycle, and a few days after my cycle. Which does lead me to believe it's either hormone or pH related. I stopped my birth control back in November thinking that this would help but I've not seen any relief. Now my doctor wants to put me back on birth control but this time with a higher dose of estrogen since he believes it's hormone related. I'm a little uneasy and at this point unsure if it will work. If any of you ladies have any advice or similar experiences I'd love to hear them.

Thanks   

Hi, I'm interested in trying this. Can you specifically tell me what brand of cleanse to use?

oh my goodness i have this! but here's the thing, i'm only 15 years old (i've had this for about 3 years now) and i've never had sex or been on birth control or anything! never even kissed a boy:( so it definently has nothing to do with sexually activeness. but it is so annoying because every time i go to the restroom and take down my pants/underwear, the underwear is always filled with discharge. it makes me so mad! i got some yeast infection medication but it didn't work:( then i went to the doctor and they thought it was a yeast infection, so they put me on these little tablets. nothing really changed, and the doctor had told me that it would completely go away if it was yeast. should i go to a gyno? i'm kind of scared because i don't want it to hurt!! but i want this to be gone, it is the one thing that will always put my confidence down. because guess what! the discharge also has a slight smell to it..........:'(

To the guest willing to try my suggestion- ginormous THANK YOU!!! I reccomend using the Humaworm for parasites, and that company also carries a candida/fungus cleanse, so that's what I'm going to do when the time comes. I also recommend taking a daily vitamin, primrose oil, and start taking Bio-V about half way through the cleanse. This is pricey, I am fully aware, and I'm not rich by any means, but considering how much I have spent over the years, and would probably continue to- its worth it to me to put an end to it once and for all. I figured out why docs say its normal, and can't do anything for us- they aren't trained in the matter of fungus! They simply aren't! I've been continuing my research for us, and ladies- I'm convinced Candida is the problem! Absolutely convinced. I've been down this road before, with a product called 3Lac, but you have to take it for a minimum of 6 months to be cleared of it. And all its supporters will say its the best product, but its also very exspensive and takes a long time. I have concluded, an all out cleanse, and a good probiotic will give the same results, but faster and cheaper. I'm sure most of us started with BV, and we did kill that! Yay! But- then we put a Candida overgrowth in our gut with the antibiotic use. Please trust me, I know this is it. And I am here if anyone has any questions :) I plan to incorporate this knowledge into my practice now lol! I want to cure every woman of this, because we don't deserve this! But yeah. I'm also when I do my cleanse, on top of the primrose oil and bio-v, I'm still going to continue w the lube and oils, just to make sure nothing sneaks by me. The Rose-Geranium will take care of that. But the candida strains can morph and become resistant, which is why nothing seems to work. We have to use something strong and just all out, kill it all. Wouldn't hurt to do a colon cleanse afterwards to make double sure its squeaky clean in there, and I will bet money, so will your vag! ;-)

To the 15 year old who posted, I am very impressed with the action you are taking for your health! It sounds like you are a smart girl, and I really hate to see this be your vag when, many years down the line, you do meet a special boy, and take it to the next step of intimacy. No gross vag! Have you told your mom about this? Or whoever can purchase things for you and help you with this? I would recommend you ask this person to buy a candida cleanse for you ok? Try that, and if it doesn't work, I will try my best to help you beat this ok?

Okay so I think it's from chafing. I'm pretty sure this is the same stuff I have going on. Quit being so self conscious during sex. We're bad as fck ladies. You're with your man, be confident, feel sexy, be in the moment & quit thinking about the discharge. That stuff is normal. Obviously since the doc can't find anything it's because there's nothing to find. Do you ever find yourself itching or just being dry in general? Maybe your underwear is too tight, orrrr maybe you're not wearing underwear in jeans. Make sure you're washing yourself regularly and not too hard because that will make you itchy and dry. I just use my hand to be quite honest. Haha but anyways just give your hooka a little air and don't wear too right of clothing. Fall back to the swing of things in the bedroom girls. We run this ish so quit messin around.
