vaginal discharge and illness Posted: 04-05-08 00:55am
Hi ladies,
I was just wondering if you experience
thicker or creamier vaginal discharge when
you're sick (i.e. have a fever, the flu,
or a cold)?
Thanks,
Jasmine

I have never noticed any correlation with
the amount or texture of vaginal discharge
during illness however it does change with
your cycle during the month and if you are
having hormonal changes.

That is an interesting question. I
personally never noticed any changes, but
at the same time I never really pay
attention to my vaginal discharge enough
to notice. I tried to research it but
couldn't find anything, so I think that it
might just be cycle changes and have
nothing to do with being sick if you are
experiencing this. You could always ask
your doctor if you are curious; they
should know.

Hmm okay thanks. Yeah, I was just
wondering because I had a fever of 40
degrees celcius, and I've been sick with a
bad cold for about a week. During this
week I noticed my discharge was kind of
lumpier and creamier. It doesn't itch or
anything, just the texture's changed.
Speaking of discharch, a quick question:
when it dries, is it normal for it to have
a yellow tint to it? :S

If it is very slightly yellow and you
don't notice any kind of foul odor it is
normal. If it's a darker yellow or there
is an odor it could indicate some kind of
bacterial infection like a yeast
infection.

It may be a yeast infection. Also if you
are ovulating, the discharge can be
thicker and sticker.

Okay, I don't think it's a yeast
infection. Ever since I can remember my
discharge when it dries has a yellow tint
to it..not DARK yellow, but light. Maybe
it's just normal then. :S
