Smelly Discharge...plzzz Help Posted: 05-06-07 07:42am
Hi,
I'm new here. But i'm wondering if u could
help me out with this problem. I have
whitish discharge that is heavy or
moderate most of the time, but the thing
is, its always smelly...and i've had this
problem from when i was like in early
teens after my periods started an all. Now
am 22 and the problem isn't as severe as
it used to be but its there.
Theres no pain or ichiness or anything
else...its just smelly.
Could u give me some advise, help on how
to deal with this? I'm a very shy person
and its very hard for me to open up and
ask someone for help on this, thats why i
it took sooo long to finally pop the
question when i came across this website.
Thanks
Rela

Sounds likely like a yeast overgrowth.
Here's a quick test. When you get up in
the morning, don't eat or drink anything.
Get a glass of water, get a good wad of
spit going, and spit in it. Don't disturb
it and come back in about 15-30 minutes.
If you see white particles floating in the
middle, a white mass at the bottom, or
especially stringy strands coming down
from the top like spider webs almost, it's
likely a yeast problem easily corrected
with probiotics, which depending on
severity can easily be taken by simply
eating plain yogurt for a period of time.

Thats a really interesting test. I have
the same issue with white discharge. I
wear a panty liner and eat yogurt everyday
and drink plenty of water.
Good luck.

There's a little more to it than just
eating yogurt, and I assume it's just
plain. You have to avoid certain foods
for awhile as well.

Hi,
Thanks for replying so quickly.
Will try that test...really? wht other
foods do we have to avoid while treating
this? Will it come back again after some
time?

As far as I know it can be easily treated
with a probiotic regimen. Some extreme
diets suggest avoiding fruit and even
sometimes bread, but you should be fine
eliminating any kinds of bad sweets like
soda and such and white bread, replacing
the latter, for example, with whole grain.
Have you ever had heavy dosage
anti-biotic treatments recently or a few
years ago?

Just curious because typically in cases of
this the individual had antibiotic usage
at some point before, usually for an
extended period of time. Try the test and
let me know what happens.

Actually you may have something called
bacterial vaginosis. I had the same issues
and kept treating it as a yeast infection.
Usually with a yeast infection there is no
smell but there is a possibilty that you
could have bv and a yeast infection at the
same time. Bv isnt an std its just an
overgrowth of the bacteria normally found
in your vagina. It will not go away on its
own and epending on how long youve had the
infection can determine how long it takes
for it to go away. You may have several
treatments of either the gel or pill form
of metronidazole.

Sounds like BV. You have to be careful
with your sexual partner also. He can
re-infect you. I had to use it after
intercourse to prevent getting it again.
One doctor told me that the PH level in my
husband's sperm and the PH in my vagina
may have cause my PH levels to be high.
This was in our early years of marriage.
It's better now. Metro Gel was a blessing
for me.
