LOL - I like the combination of those questions....\n\nAbout the discharge, do visit your doctor if you want specific answers. You can read lots of stuff on various sites on the net, for instance from the link below.\n\nValentine's Day, well, that was a learning experience for me too, not being an american. Two links below.

Well i'm not sure if this will help \n \nVaginal itching and a change in vaginal discharge\n\n\nMost women have some vaginal discharge. A normal vaginal discharge:\n\nDoes not smell bad.\nIs not gray, green, or yellow.\nDoes not occur with vaginal or genital redness, burning, or itching.\nDoes not occur with pelvic pain or burning when you urinate.\nYou may notice a normal increase in your vaginal discharge during the middle of your menstrual cycle.\n\nThe vagina contains a large number of different types of organisms, such as yeast cells and bacteria, that exist in a balance with each other. Vaginitis is the result of a change in the normal balance of vaginal organisms. When you have vaginitis, you may notice:\n\nVaginal itching.\nAn increase in vaginal discharge.\nA change in the color of the discharge.\nA strong vaginal odor, especially after sex.\nOther symptoms include increased redness, swelling, itching, or irritation in the vaginal or genital area. Sometimes burning after urination may be present.\n\nA few women develop chronic, repeated vaginitis. Vaginal irritation with burning and discharge is the main symptom. While many women think they have a yeast infection that won't go away, this may not be the case. If you have increased vaginal discharge or other symptoms of a vaginal infection, it is important to check with your doctor to find the cause of your symptoms.

Discharge could mean one of two things: One, you have some type of vaginal/yeast infection or venereal disease...or TWO, YES, you are coming up on your period. If your discharge is milky and somewhat clear, it's healthy. If it is thick, with odor, and looks like cottage cheese see a physician immediately.

A white vaginal discharge is very common and while it may be the result of some local pathological condition, often no cause is found. Such a discharge is non irritating, non odorous and without any blood. It may be due to cervical erosion, cervical polypi, mild endocervical infections, cervical laceration or a very low grade vaginal infection.

It depends.  Generally, if the woman is in good health, it's just the vagina cleaning itself out.  It's perfectly normal.  \n\nIf it smells funky or looks weird, it might be a yeast infection or a sign of some other illness.\n\nHope this helps!

The vaginal area has a balance of yeast and bacteria and a normal range of PH and if this gets thrown off track with too much you can get either Yeast Infections or Bacterial Vaginosis.  \n\nSome things that can cause a yeast infection are antibiotics, too much sugar in your diet, douching (DOUCHING is terrible for women - please don't do it!), sexual intercourse that does not have enough lubrication, wearing non-cotton panties or panties that are on for more than one day (eww!) etc...\n\nPlease eat your yogurt, take acidophulous pills and triple garlic pills - Garlic and Yeast don't get along in my experience.  \n\nRemember that if you are getting them constantly it could be 'hormones' from onset of puberty or menopause, diabetes or even HIV/AIDS.  Get an over the counter cream, if you are sure you have one, and if you can't get 'rid of it', see a doctor for other possible causes/treatment.

Discharge is healthy. A healthy vagina produces secretions to cleanse and regulate itself, similar to how saliva cleanses and regulates the environment of the mouth. \n\nNormal discharge may appear clear, cloudy white, and/or yellowish when dry on clothing. It may also contain white flecks and at times may be thin and stringy. Changes in normal discharge can occur for many reasons, including menstrual cycle, emotional stressors, nutritional status, pregnancy, usage of medications - including birth control pills, and sexual arousal. If you think about sex frequently, it will increase the amount of discharge you have.\n\nIf the quantity is increased greatly, then you may have bacterial vaginosis. It is similar to a yeast infection, and you need oral antibiotics to treat it. There is no over the counter medicine for it. \n\nThe site below has other types of infections it could also be. \n\nFor any guys reading this, I apologize if I grossed you out.

It's generally related to a condition known as "bacterial vaginosis."  There is treatment for this condition (certain antibiotics), but the condition may recur.  Maintaining a healthy diet and ingesting live yogurt cultures (lactobacillus) is reported to help.

Women can get a vaginal discharge when on antibiotics, yes.\nIt can cause a yeast infection because the antibiotics you are taking can kill good bacteria within the vagina causing a disharge and irritation.

A lot of symptoms may be because of hormonal changes in your body.  It may also be that you will be or are on your period.  If you are getting discharge in your underwear, beware of a yeast infection or stds.  \n\nAs long as you are getting your period, then you are not pregnant.  If you are worried, check with a doctor.

If the vaginal area is affected by a change in its Ph Balance, it could cause a discharge.  Taking antibiotics ( I always ask for a prescription for Diflucan at the same time), wearing tight underwear, pantyhose, and pants (at the same time and continuously) which does not allow for air to circulate can cause a discharge.  Also bubble baths, using someone else's damp towel (someone who is also having a discharge.) All of these things can cause a change in that area's Ph Balance.  You need to go to the doctor for a proper diagnosis.

As a Gynecologist, I would advise you seek counsel from your PCP or a local speacialist. Restrict any procrastination.\n\nVaginal yeast infections are caused by a fungus called Candida albicans. Yeast are tiny organisms that normally live in small numbers on the skin and inside the vagina. The acidic environment of the vagina helps keep yeast from growing. If the vagina becomes less acidic, too many yeast can grow and cause a vaginal infection.\n\nThe acidic balance of the vagina can be changed by your period (menstruation), pregnancy, diabetes, some antibiotics, birth control pills and steroids. Moisture and irritation of the vagina also seem to encourage yeast to grow.\n\nYeast infections can be very uncomfortable, but are usually not serious. Symptoms include the following:\n\nItching and burning in the vagina and around the vulva (the skin that surrounds your vagina) \nA white vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese \nPain during sexual intercourse \nSwelling of the vulva \nYeast infections are so common that 3/4 of women will have one at some time in their lives. Half of all women have more than one infection in their lives. If you have symptoms of a yeast infection, your doctor will probably want to talk to you about your symptoms and examine you to make sure a yeast infection is the cause.\n\nYeast infections are usually treated with medicine that you put into your vagina. This medicine may be a cream that you insert in your vagina with a special applicator, or it may be a suppository that you put into your vagina and allow to dissolve on its own. Medicine in a cream form can also be put on your vulva to help relieve itching. Medicine in a pill form that you take by mouth is also available.\n\nHere are some things you can do to help prevent another yeast infection:\n\nDon't wear tight-fitting or synthetic-fiber clothes. \nWear cotton panties. \nDon't wear pantyhose or leotards every day. \nUse your blow dryer on a low, cool setting to help dry your genital area after you bathe or shower and before getting dressed. \nWipe from front to back after using the toilet. This may help prevent the bacteria that normally live in your rectum from getting into your vagina. \nChange out of wet swimsuits or other damp clothes as soon as you can. \nDon't douche or use feminine hygiene sprays, deodorant sanitary pads or tampons, or bubble bath, and avoid using colored or perfumed toilet paper. These items seem to affect the balance of acidity of the vagina and can lead to symptoms of a yeast infection.

could be. the higher the possibility if she has regular periods then suddenly missed one. some women do not have menses for months because of irregular menses ( this can be treated). and some miss their menses for reasons like stress which causes hormonal changes. \n\nas to yeast infections...it's possible. it may even happen to post partum women.  if i remember my microbio right, yeast infections are caused by the proliferation of the candida fungus, which is caused by...again, hormonal changes of the body.\n\n\nhehee i' m no doctor so just tell her to consult a gynecologist for professional advise.

Leukorrhea is a whitish, mucousy vaginal discharge, very common during pregnancy because of increased bloodflow to the vagina due to increased estrogen. Female infants may also have leukorrhea for a short time after birth due to their in-uterine exposure to estrogen.\n\nLeukorrhea does occur from time to time in non-pregnant women, but it's important to talk to your doctor if there is a *lot* of discharge, a strong or offensive odor, is accompanied by labial/vaginal itching or swelling, or you begin to note any changes in the discharge (color, odor, etc.).
