Yeah, it sounds gross...but?

Question

I don't really know how to put it, but I have been noticing that I am having more vaginal discharge than usual and it has a strong odor. My underwear/light pad would have a light yellow/kind of brown or grey color as well. I have had only 2 sexual partners, one of which was years ago (6 years) and my recent is a virgin. I used to ride my bike a lot wearing tight pants...so maybe that contributed to an infection? I'm not sure if this sounds like an infection or something worse...(no itching, burning, bumps, rashes, etc). This whole cervical cancer thing I have been hearing lately has me paranoid. Any ideas? I do intend to see the gyno, but I wanted to have some kind of reassurance.

Answer 1

sounds like an infection to me. just keep your appointment with the gyno to confirm it.

if your talking about HPV then it ususally has no symptoms so thats probably not the case.

Answer 2

It sounds like yeast infection - nothing to worry about but ul need the doc to confirm it and give u medicine! lol

Answer 3

Is vaginal discharge normal?

Yes. Glands inside your v****a and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the v****a each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the v****a. This is your body's way of keeping your v****a healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.

The color and thickness of the discharge change with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), when you breastfeed or when you're sexually excited.

What changes may be a sign of a problem?

Changes that may signal a problem include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your v****a. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem. If you have any of these signs, you should talk to your doctor

Good luck! :P
