I only thought of looking for this answer online today which was quite a revelation, im glad I found somewhere like this, it will be really helpful.

I am searching for this answer on behalf of my girlfriend, the anomity of the internet is appriciated. Basically she is to shy to go and see a doctor, which I can understand in one sense and not in another....I guess im just trying to find out whether I should be worried and try and convince her to see a doctor.

We have been sexually active for about 2yrs....She being 19 me 21. Loyal to only each other as partners (in case relevant) with no history of std's. I have been away for about a month so no sexual activity for her .

The problem or question is about excessive discharge. Normally just before (roughly the week leading up to) her period she gets slight clear/pasty discharge which I understand is normal (please verify). During the last 1-1.5 weeks, her period is coming up again. She has been having a worring amount of (from what she described) the same kind of discharge...But she feels like something is "coming out" this has happened twice in the last 2weeks-ish and she goes to the toilet and I guess the only way to describe it is a big gob or lump comes out which seems to be part of the discharge and is quite painful to expell. This happend once randomly and the 2nd time was triggered by a aerobics class. Because of the pain (when passing the lumps/gobs) and excessive discharge (she is havingto wear a pad to deal with it) she worried....But very sensitive and is pretty adamant about not seeing a doctor.

I guess im lookinf for a that is unusual, convince her to see a doctor. Or don't worry about it, it's normal.....Possibly caused by this or that or it's just different for each women.

Thankyou very much for your time.
