Hi guys,

I asked a related question a while back about this. As before, if you’re sensitive to subjects involving the female ‘down below’, I suggest you look away now.

For the last few months, I have been experiencing relativley heavy discharge, and also a kind of unpleasant scent from down there. I’m really hygenic and everything, but I don’t use any soaps or chemicals. I’m not sexually active either. It seems to clear up when I’m on my period, but maybe a week after my period, it comes back.

I’ve been looking into some of the main female problems that sound kind of like this, you know, Bacterial Vaginosis, Yeast Infections, Thrush etc, and I was wondering whether you guys knew whether this sounded anything like either of these infections, and whether I should be worried?
If so, are there any natural remedies I can use to cure whatever it is that I have?

I’ve recently resorted to washing a little bit more regularly and using looser underwear, but it still seems to be a problem, especially at school, what with the awkward scent and all, and it’s kind of worrying me.

I REALLY do not want to have to consult my mother, or any doctors or anything, especially if it turns out that I have nothing to worry about. But if it sounds like a major problem, I guess I will have to :S

Thanks

I am 26 and have no itching but have a yellow/green discharge with an odor and was wondering what this could be? I used a 7 day over the counter yeast infection treatment to no avail. I’ve had this discharge for years but always heard women have a natural discharge and thought that was it but it ruins my underwear and after asking around realized this isn’t normal. I’ve tried looking up what it could be on the net but found a lot of different vaginal infections it kind of became confusing.

I don’t have any insurance at the moment but wanted to know if there were any nurses/drs out there who may see this often? Thanks in advance.

(by the way, I’m a girl regardless of my name on here) So I took the medicated ointment last night, and woke up and its like 2x as itchy! its getting worse and worse, itchier and more sore and red. I’m so miserable.. Is the ointment not working? Its a generic brand of monistat cream. I am taking vagisil with it. Please help. Has anyone experienced the itch this bad after taking the ointment?
Also, the medicine come out a little as I walk around I think because it ends up on my underwear little bits at a time. Does this stop it from healing me? I mean its coming out!
