Clumpy white genital discharge after sex Posted: 12-12-06 16:48pm
I have a clumpy white discharge that only
comes out after I have sex with my bf. It
actually went away for about a week, and
then the next week I had my period, and
now its come back. It has no odor, I have
none of the typical yeast infection
symptoms. It actually started after I
went to a planned parenthood and had a pap
exam. I have had no other side effects,
but i have changed my type of bc-but only
after the discharge started. What could
be causing this? I have had an increase in
caffeine intake since I work at a
coffeehouse, and my diet hasn't been the
best....but its been that way for a while
and this only started a few weeks ago.
What could it be thats causing it?

Genital discharge (genital fluor) can be
due to increased secretion by the
oviducts, uterus, cervix, vagina or vulva.
Vaginal discharge is the most common type.
There could be various reasons for genital
discharge but infection is the most
frequent cause of discharge. Genital
discharge after sex could be due to
increased secretion of the Bartholini’s
glands placed in the vulva. You can
consult a gynecologist to exclude
infection.
