The Leading Reason For Having A White Vaginal Discharge

Hello everyone,Even though it is normal to have a clear discharge
from time to time. If you are having a white vaginal discharge then
you have an infection.A clear discharge helps to clean, lubricate and
keep the vagina free of germs. Most often this will happen before and
after your menstrual period.A normal clear discharge may change in
consistency and appearance for certain reasons. It could be that you
are ovulating, pregnant, or breastfeeding. The ph level in your vagina
could be upset also causing a normal discharge to appear different.
This could result from deodorant soaps, douching, or perfume body
sprays.A white vaginal discharge is most commonly associated with
symptoms of a yeast infection. This can be different consistency for
everybody from very thin to extremely thick. However a light yellow to
dark yellow almost brown discharge means you most likely have a
bacterial infection.Usually the severity of the infection will
determine the depth and texture of the white vaginal discharge. A thin
discharge is probably a mild infection with a major infection having
the Constancy of cottage cheese. A mild infection may clear up
extremely easy but a heavy white vaginal discharge could mean your
dealing with a major candida overgrowth.Sometimes if the infection is
very severe, you may even experience a thick white discharge with blue
specks in it. This type of discharge almost looks like crumbled blue
cheese. I know, gross right? After all, yeast is a mold or fungus!This
is definitely symptoms of a yeast infection that needs immediate
attention. A good way to tell if a male may have an infection (even if
no symptoms) is in his semen. Normally it is thin and clear, but if it
is thick and white, this may be an indication that he may be carrying
the germ. It is always a good idea to have your spouse treated at the
same time, even if they're showing no symptoms. Usually a male does
not show symptoms unless their immune system is compromised. Otherwise
they carry the germ and think that they are OK.Sometimes it can be
hard to determine which type of discharge you have. Discharge can be
normal and abnormal, and the discharge of a yeast infection may mimic
bacterial infection symptoms.Really the best thing to do is just
examine the discharge to tell you which one without a doubt. If it is
a all white vaginal discharge that may smell a little yeasty to no
smell at all, then it's defiantly a yeast infection. If your discharge
has a yellow to brownish color with a bad odor, then you are dealing
with a bacterial infection. And finally if it is clear to slightly
cloudy and thin, then this is probably perfectly normal and have
nothing to worry about.You can reduce the intensity of your normal
discharge by remembering to always wipe form front to back to prevent
the spread of bacteria and to wear loose clothing with cotton
underwear.These are some tips in preventing abnormal discharge-change
out of wet clothes or swimsuits as soon as possible, bath before and
after sexual intercourse or a vigorous workout, and keep the moisture
level down as much as possible.
