Possible Period Problem, Looking For Advice. Posted: 07-25-04 19:45pm
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.

It truly is different not only for each
woman but also for any woman at different
times for soooooooo many reasons (food,
virus, flu, overwork, stress, anything -
including factors we don't even know about
- if that makes any sense) so it may or
may not be something to worry about.
If it continues she will need to see a Dr.
Or if further symptoms develop, or if it
stops when her period comes but resumes at
the same time next month.
Sorry to be so vague but part of the
problem is that if she is this determined
not to see a dr (which seems to me as if
she's scared of soemthing/someone?? -
even if the fear is just in her mind) then
maybe there are also other symptoms that
she hsan't told you.

If that happened to me, I think I would go
to the doctor... It sounds a little
unusual to me but, of course every woman
is different

The heavy discharge could be bacterial
vaginosis or a yeast infection. However,
with a yeast infection it should be itchy
also. Both are very, very common and can
be treated easily.
However, the globs that come out with pain
are not normal at all. Maybe it is
something that is normal for her body as
we are all different, but I have never
heard of such a thing. And since it is
accompanied with pain I think she should
see a doc. Maybe find her a female
doctor to go to so that she feels more
comfortable. No one wants to talk about
these things, but sometimes you just need
to.
