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

I am 45 years old and I am not on any bc. I have the exact same symptons. This just started for me with my new sex partner. I noticed I am very dry when we first have sex. But so far it doesn't hurt because I usually get very wet eventually. At first I thought it was my orgasm but when I was washing his penis I noticed it was extremely thick. So glad I found this post I was really worried.

Those of you encouraging women to put things in their vaginas (acipophilus, baking soda) are going the wrong way...that will give most women a wicked yeast infection.

I started having this problem, exactly like all of you are describing, (thick lotion-y discharge, especially after sex, all over my partner and I, no smell, bitter taste, wrecking our sex life) and I fixed it! Yay! With probiotics. 

Seriously, if you are having this problem, TRY A PROBIOTIC SUPPLEMENT. 

When this started for me, my gyn had no answer. I hit the forums, and just about had an emotional crisis when I saw all these other women with the same problem, and no answer. But the way I looked at it, there's obviously something imbalanced in my body, so what the heck is it. The first thing I thought about when dealing with va-jay-jay imbalances was probiotics, after all, they keep things healthy up in there. I increased my probiotic intake, and the problem was gone in a two days, completely back to normal in three.

The thing is, it is really easy to be missing, or even just low in probiotics in your diet, because they don't come from many things. (The only reason I know about them is because of a short-lived stint of veganism a while back.) Milk products have a little in them, especially yogurt, things like miso, tempeh, fermented cabbage... but who eats a whole lot of that?! And gynecologists seem to only be concerned with testing you for diseases and infections, and pumping you full of meds. The last thing they're thinking about is your fermented cabbage intake, lol..

I started by eating a whole lot of miso, tempeh, skipped the cabbage, and it didn't seem to do it. So, before I gave up on the idea, I went to the health food store and got a probiotic supplement. And BAM! Problem solved.

So, I would say, start by eating a whole lot of yogurt. If you're really deficient in probiotics, like I apparently was, and that doesn't work,  take a supplement.

If you get the supplement, get the refrigerated kind. I'm no doctor, but I have a feeling this is important. The refrigerated kind is way stronger and more effective. It's not expensive, I think mine was like $12 for a bottle. You should be able to find it at any vitamin or health store. I got mine at GoodHealth. 

I hope this helps you girls like it helped me. Let me know if it does. Good luck:)

Hi my boyfriend and i just got done reading everyones forums.i've had the same problem myself and its been nothing but hard ache and pain for both him and myself not being able to live up to the potential our relationship should be.it sucks expecially when he's wanted to be with me for years and now where finally together-it puts a damper on things.its been a few months now with me having the same problem.i've seriously tryed EVERYTHING and nothing seems to work,but after reading everyones posts and my boyfriend and i brainstorming everything and what all of you said and our situation we conclued to something.as most have stated when seeing and talking to ur doctors nobody can pin point anything.maybe there right and the cause of our problem isnt in that area of field.so the docs would see anything wrong.do any of you happen to have bad teeth,or a tooth that needs to be filled?think about a infection any where else on the body can easly create another infection else where and/or make some things go wrong any where on our body.which can cause bad breath with a bad tooth or teeth letting the problem go longer without proper treatment can make it go else where,right.might not be the situation for some but someone said something bout thinkin outside the box and thats what i do.and i have a bad tooth so im thinkin,theres no answers mayb re i opened a few for some with my thought n my situation.so im going to go to the dentist and get my tooth pulled in high hopes that will be me cure to this madness.ill post in here once i do and if it was my cure.u may not have a tooth problem but maybe something some where else.oh and FYI girls even smoking cig's makes your ahuha smells the more you smoke the more it absorbs a smell to it.hope maybe this helps someone.thanks

Sorry to say but if its not you... Its him. It burns him while he has sex with u? That's crazy. I think he has a yeast infection that he got from someone else. If you have done everything... Maybe its him.

I had this same problem before two months. Actually i thought this is because of sex i had with ma bf twice on the same day.

I thought of consulting a doctor but i dint. I told my mom abt this (only abt this kinda discharge not abt the sex :P ) she told me this is something normal and asked me to apply castor oil on my stomach before going to bed. i did the same, trust me frnds and i noticed the difference within 2 days :-) . really it became normal. but if i stop doing tat home remedy for 1 week, again my problem continues...!!! :'(

i dont know the permanent solution for it but u can you this remedy atleast for a pre-planned sex...!!!

every one had it examined her self and tryed different medicion but no one asked her partner to examine himself with a doctor maybe they r the reason they have a problem and transmitted to the girl,,,

So I have this same problem with vaginal discharge and I've gone to the doctor for an examination and he said it was normal as well. But the even bigger problem I have is with my bf. I try to clean up as best I can before we have sex but he still sees it sometimes and has accused me twice of cheating on him because it looked like "semen". I explained to him the first time he accused me that I didn't know why I had it but that the doctor said it was normal and he believed me but then he accused me again recently. I don't know how to make him understand when I don't even understand exactly why I have so much discharge.

This literally just started happening to me, I was off my birth control for a month and now this has been going on. Ive heard that going off birth control and using these feminine products can really mess with your ph levels

hi i have the same problem too. I have had it for maybe a yr now. And when i have sex ,thick white stuff comes out on his penis. And if get fingered its all on his finger like big chunky white stuff. I have a gyno app. This month but im scared to go. I cant tell my mom scared bout that too. So i have stop having sex for 6 momth now cause its just embarresing to have sex its ruining my life i cant srand it it doesnt itch burn or have a smell just thick chunky whire stuff thats all. Can anyone tell me what it maybe

re: same boatYour boyfriend needs an educational smack in the head.  You might point out to him that the opening to the vagina points DOWN, and by the basic laws of gravity, even if you were cheating on him any semen wouldn't be just hanging around up there not going anywhere until you had sex with him.  Unless you stood on your head until you saw him.  Good grief.

I have the same problem! My gyn only ever says I'm a little dry.. I'm 21 and a lesbian. My girlfriend says it tastes sour. In addition to the DRY discharge, I've also been noticing my clit has lost a lot of sensitivity and it takes forever to get off. What is happening??? I feel gross. I noticed drinking a ton of water sort of helps but not enough. I need this to go away!! Help! I have done so much research and nobody seems to have any answers..

I'm having the exact same issue. I started Fem-dophilus last week and will see how everything goes!

 

Do you all use tampons? I am trying to figure out if that could possibly be the cause. I have this issue whether or not I use unscented everything, summer's eve, abstain from sex, have a balanced diet, stop birth control. The only thing that I have not changed is the tampons that I use. I use Playtex Gentle Glide and they are a bit on the 'linty' side......

I also use those tampons!

Im so sorry to hear all this! Im actually a premed student and im trying to figure this out! i never thought a fungal infection could be so uncontrollably recurring and sometimes with the experiences above-never seems to go away? I got my first yeast infection july 2012 after I took a plan B pill...!!@#$# it was the classic case- I took diflucanone and it went away after a week and after my period past shortly after. I recently started feeling a loss of sex drive and dryness and when i would look at my panties they would have speckles of white. I examined myself and it looked like yeast (milder this time) but not itching no redness or any discomfort.. i thought I was dehydrated... Im scared because they say it can stay in your blood and may become part of your life in getting it regularly and spontaneously. I bought Canestin (1pill) and hopefully since this is a milder yeast infection i will be fungal free in 3 days to a week. The pharmacist told me if it happens a 3rd time that i have to go on stronger anti fungal meds... Has anyone gone this far and has it worked?/not worked? good luck guys!
