Is it kinda chuncky? Does it smell yeasty or fishy? If so it could either be a yeast infection or vaginosis (not sure of spelling) and so you should see your doc.

It's normal. Think of your nose. Germs get in, your nose flushes those buggers outta there! White discharge without itch or sting is normal. Your body is just cleaning itself like your nose or ears. Don't be disgusted, it will lessen and increase but I would not believe it to be anything serious.

If in doubt, please have it checked out or call and talk to the nurse or take a sample in, at least it will clear your stressing about it.

normal vaginal discharge has no odor (other than 'musky'). If you're noticing a "fishy" smell, that is indicative of an infection of some sort. Make an appt. And see your doctor. Good luck!

I have that all the time, I went to the doctor, she took swabs and said...Yeah could be thrush and just gave me a cream that doesn;t work. It's usually white or yellowy and just dries on my underwear. Pretty gross but no doctor really cares that much because the tests are all fine

Different women have different amounts of vaginal discharge, my female dr thinks I have thrush everytime I visit her and the tests are always negative, so I just say fine! I've always had that, so what I would say is if it is a change in what your used to go see a dr to get it checked out it could be nothing, just your hormones changing or going off the pill or something but best to be safe than sorry.

I have this also. I have just finished two rounds of creams and diflucan. Still have it and I have given up. The doctor did test it and it was normal, but he said there are things that grow in the body and not in a test tube so it can be hard to treat. I am just going to ignore it now. It is annoying at times though.

Go to the doctor.
You have a vaginal infection.
Could be yeast if its thick, if its thin than it bacterial vagonsis.
Its not really a big deal at all.
The doctor can treat this stuff easily.
