I have had a sticky, white, cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge for seven years now. It began weeks after I lost my virginity at the age of 18. This discharge does not have a strong or foul order, and I do not experience any burning or itching with it. This discharge is always there; it only increases or decreases along with my monthly cycle.
I have been to several different health care professionals trying to determine the cause of this discharge. I have been prescribed more than five different antibiotics in an attempt to treat this discharge as a result of a bacterial infection/STI to no avail. In fact, I have been tested for all types of STI including, but not limited to, chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, HPV (Herpes), Hepatitis, etc. Also, I have a Pap test each year, and the results of these tests are always normal. The final professional who examined me suggested that having this thick discharge was simply my “normal.” On one hand, this makes sense seeing as the discharge has not responded to any bacterial treatments and the fact that I have not been diagnosed with any STI. However, any medical resource that I have found states that a discharge that is cottage cheese in consistency is “abnormal” and is tell-tale sign that something is wrong.

I wrote this post and would like to give a positive update. After more frustration and no real answers from doctors, I found the solution to my problem: boric acid. I know that this seems like a very unlikely solution to an intimate issue, but it worked. I found many resources online explaining the benefits of boric acid to treat vaginalinfections, and I decided to try it. I found everything I needed inexpensively on Amazon. I inserted the boric acid suppositories each morning and each night for a week, and all symptoms are GONE! I hate it took me so long tofinally find a resresolution, but I am thrilled that I am free of this issue!
