Q: Vaginal Discharge

Just a little background first....


In dec 2004 I began yasmin with a one month break in march 2005 b/c I ran out of my prescription. I restarted taking them in april 2005. Starting in march 2005 up until now, I began to get a lot of yeast infections. It coincided with the time I started having sex with my new boyfriend leading me to think that perhaps it was the condoms we used. However, after trying several types of condoms and even no condom at all I still kept getting the infections. I even gave him a dose of diflucan (whicy my obgyn prescribed) in case we were passing it back and forth.


Recently i've begun to believe that maybe it's the yasmin causing the infections. In the past I had always taken triphasic pills like ortho tri cyclen or ortho novum 777 so yasmin was a change for me. I stopped taking yasmin a few weeks ago (when I completed my last pack) but since then i've been getting a dry white clumpy discharge with no itching and no odor. As a precaution, i've also taken a weekly dose of diflucan for the last 2 weeks.

Is this discharge normal? Or could it be another form of yeast infection w/o the itching?

You should probably just go and get it tested by your doctor. It may even be a different infection like vaginosis down there. I had that once, with symptoms similar to yours - no itching or redness. And sometimes the pill itself can cause you to get more infections because it screws around with your hormones and makes you more susceptible.
