Dear Jacqui,

I had rather heavy discharge when I was having intimacy recently. It was clear and somewhat pasty. I always had a discharge, but not during intimacy. I did go to my gynecologist 4-months ago and she reported nothing abnormal. Thank you, Louisa

Dear Louisa,

There is a lot of information on my website regarding vaginal irritations and infections. Please read up and see if any of the symptoms match. In any case, no there is nothing wrong with you. Millions of women come down with vaginal discharge problems. The issue is to identify if it is an infection or if your body simply produces a lot of fluid during sexuality.

I would most strongly advise you to see a gynecologist again or family doctor so you can get a proper diagnosis and treatment, if warranted. If these conditions are untreated, and there is an infection present, you risk having more serious problems. So please go ahead and get a quick check-up.

I can understand that you may not wish to use the family physician. In almost every place there is a woman's clinic, and many communities offer free clinics for just such problems. By the way, the examination is not at all painful just a little awkward. But we all go through it and survive. I wish you good health.

Jacqui
