Why?
Posted: 01-19-05 13:38pm

I was wondering if discharging everyday or just discharging at all is normal, why when I go to the doctors office the nurse always ask me if I discharge...They make it seem like discharging is not normal.

P.S.-just wondering

Discharging is normal, unless you know or think you might have an std, or if it smells really bad or looks really strange. Once a month you will have a mucousy discharge, this is the mucous that plugs your cervix during your cycle but is released after your period when you are about to ovulate. Your body replenishes it and a month later releases it again.

Someone discharge every day, some hardly ever. Every woman is different. You could have bacterial vaginosis, a really common bacterial infection, or a yeast infection, both which cause discharge, are *not* stds and are easily treatable.

So don't be too worried. Unless you've been really careless about your sex life.
