This is some type of vaginal infection, such as gardnella or bacterial vaginosis. This kind of infection is sexually transmissible, so your partner should be treated as well if this is the diagnosis.  Please see your doctor.

Well, I have had a problem similar to that...I went to the doctor and everything was perfectly fine.  She told me that some women just have more discharge than others, and it is completely normal.  Also, I have noticed that when I am ovulating I tend to have discharge, and sometimes it is discolored.  It's normal, and not pleasant, but you learn to live with it.  Your body is just trying to clean itself out.  Just relax, and try the bath.

Does it have an odor?  Do you suffer from itching? Is is clear or milky white in coloring? You may have a yeast infection.  I would call your general physician or gynocologist and relate the discharge to her.  It could be nothing just general femine stuff even I find my body tends to get excited when mentally i'm not but you may have something more serious. \nsymptoms of vaginal yeast infections \n\n how can you tell that your crotch rot is really a yeast infection and not something else? most medical types say that you should go to a doctor to get it diagnosed the first time, and then once you know what you're looking for, you can figure it out yourself the next time and respond appropriately. i used to blow this off as a bunch of MDs protecting their turf and their profits, but more and more evidence is accumulating that wimmin often misdiagnose themselves as having a yeast infections when they really have something else. this is bad because you might have a more serious problem that isn't getting treated while you futz around with yeast treatments. just as bad, if you use an over-the-counter treatment for yeast and you don't really have yeast infection, you might be creating your own personal race of drug-resistant super-yeast, and next time you have a real yeast infection it could be damned hard to get rid of. \n\na doctor can tell for sure if you have a yeast infection by taking a swab and looking in a microscope. most of us can't do this at home, but sometimes you can tell by the feel, look, and smell that you have a yeast infection. if your symptoms don't match this list, or you are confused or uncertain, go see a doctor if at all possible.\n\n\n feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. this itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone ride your bike to the pharmacy or doctor to get it treated. \n looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear. \n\n smells like bread or beer. in fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). no bacteria could smell like that, so it's a great diagnostic. \n\nfinally, in response to a recent question, i point out that a yeast infection will NOT cause you to miss your period.\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nrecognizing other types of infections\nthere are other nasty creatures besides yeast that can sometimes infect your crotch, and it's helpful to know the symptoms of all of them so you can be really sure before you go treat yourself for a yeast infection you might not have. \n\n a bacterial infection of the vagina can feel a lot like a yeast infection if the vulval area is itchy or painful. unlike a yeast infection, the discharge can be dark yellow, green, or brown. and it won't smell like bread: it can smell like fish or something rotting, particularly after you have sex. if you think you might have a bacterial infection, or if you're not sure, get your diseased self to a doctor, sister. the main treatment is prescription antibiotics. \n\n urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are due to bacteria infecting the urethra rather than the vagina. (and if you aren't sure about the difference, check out elf sternberg's page on the sexual anatomy of women.) UTIs can be fairly easily distinguished from vaginal infections by a host of symptoms, including pain or burning when urinating, blood or mucus in urine, needing to urinate often, pain or pressure in back or lower abdomen, and a fever or chills. if you think you might have a UTI, don't mess around: go see a doctor, because the infection can travel up past the bladder, causing kidney damage. \n\n tricho

White discharge is very normal and this discharge changes as your body is going through its cycle. When the discharge is slimy as you say its most likely when you are ovulating (when you can get pregnant) other times it is more thick and tacky if you know what I mean.\nIts very normal not to have periods at regular intervals when you first start getting periods so don't worry if you miss one or two or even three. (as long as you are not having sex then missing a period is a very differnt thing, as you could be pregnant) Write down the first day of your peroid so you have a bit of a record for yourself. Also you can get sore breasts just before your period.\nTake care and welcome to the world of womanhood.

It's not a disease it is discharge.Vaginal discharge, a normal occurrence for some women during their menstrual cycle, or a medical sign of many conditions including endometrial cancer, yeast infections, and some STDs. If she's pregnant than all it is is discharge or a yeast infection.

Everything you're describing sounds perfectly normal - discharge often forms a yellow stain when it's dry. It shouldn't itch, burn or smell, and should be clear, slightly milky or off white at different times in your cycle before it dries on your underwear. It shouldn't be lumpy or really thin, though it does change in consistency throughout the month. As long as you're not experiencing any of these things, you are perfectly normal and the production of discharge, which cleans the vagina, means that you have a very healthy body. Believe me, if you had a yeast infection you would be experiencing some kind of discomfort by now...if the doctor says it's fine, it is.\n\nAs for the other part of your question, be proud that you can relax and enjoy sex so much - most men find a woman who gets very wet when she's sexually excited a real turn on, as this happening is a sign to the opposite sex of her femininity.

You will have itching and a white discharge.  Go to your doctor if you have any type of discharge that is not clear.  A little clear discharge is normal.  You could try the over the counter remedies but from my experience they don't work very well.  Even so, you're better off getting a firm diagnosis from your doctor.  What you think may be a yeast infection may actually be something else and would need a different treatment.

All women have a natural odor to their vaginas(inside parts) and vulvas(outside parts). You should only worry if it smells yeasty (like bread or beer), fishy, vinegary, or your discharge has a weird color such as green, grey, or dark yellow. Normal color discharge can range from clear to white to off-white or slightly yellow. It can even vary in consistancy from thin and watery to thick like paste.\n\nThe best thing to do to keep the smells manageable is wash daily with a washcloth and mild soap like dove on the OUTSIDE ONLY. Never ever douche unless prescribed a medicinal one by your doctor. Doing so isn't good for your natural vaginal flora and can increase your chances of infection.\n\nCheck out the site below. It is full of good information about a woman's body and can answer a ton of questions!

My wife used to have the same predicament as you. Normally it would go away a few days before the onset of your menstrual period. This is usually a sign that your body is ovulating. This is what some ob-gynes call your "wet period" or the period when you will likely get pregnant after sex. Your "dry period" is that in which your chance of getting pregnant after sex is nil.\n\nThis may not be a symptom of UTI, since you are not experiencing pain or burning sensation when urinating. This is more of a vaginal discharge (which is different from a discharge due to yeast infection wherein the vagina has a yellowish/white discharge).\n\nTry using a pH-balanced feminine wash...it worked for my wife, so I do not see any reason why it will not work for you.\n\nYou may also see a gynecologist if you wish, to cast out your fears of having UTI (which is most unlikely that you have).

Yes it is mucus discharge. It is gross and annoying but it is normal. You will probably have it always on the days you dont have your period. Wear panty liners such as always to protect your underwear and feel more comfortable.

I used to think green or yellow meant infection but the doctor told me not necessarily. The more moisture it looses the darker it will become, that is why boogers are yellow and green. Fowl odor, headache etc usually mean there is an infection.

Registered Nurse here;  Hun it sounds like a yeast infection, however with a yeast infection it usually doesn't soak your panties.  I would strongly suggest that you make an appointment with your GYN, no this is not what you wanted to here.  But you really don't want to speculate about this.  Someone could experience the exact same symptoms as you and it be an all together different type of infection.  It certainly does not sound like a STD.  If fact it sounds Begin, however please go for a check-up, could be something just beginning to brew, and your GYN, would be able to catch it very early.  Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.

a smelly odor and yellowish green discharge from the vagina

If the discharge from your nose is crystal clear, it's probably allergies.  If its yellowish, it could be a cold.  If it is allergies it could be from either outside(the weeds) or inside(are there any new carpets?)

It is natural and healthy to have a small discharge from your vigina, most young female do. Unless it is discoloured or very smelly which is unhealthy because it is a sign of an infection or fungus.\n\nAsk your mother or doctor if you are really worried.\n\nYoung girls seem to get a white discharge in between periods. Can leave a little mark in your underwear is normal as your vigina needs to be lubricated to be healthy.

No you shouldn't worry!!!  Im not a doctor, but I have inquired about vaginal fluids from my OB/GYN.  He stated that every womans body is different, and some have clear succretions and others may have a white "murkey" looking succretion.  Some may not have any. As long as there is no foul odor, itching, or pain you should be fine.  However, if it is a strong concern you may want to call your physician and ask to speak to the nurse to ask a general question.  Thats to save you a co-pay and a visit.

If it smells fishy and it's yellowish, then you have yeast infection.  If it's not smelly and it's white, it's your body's normal discharge.  Most of the time you get more discharge when your really horny, or when your having a heated conversation about sex with your boy toy! : )
