subject: The Best Way To Best Fully Understand And Conquer A Female Discharge [print this page] You could have a discharge for a couple of days around your menstrual cycle. This is perfectly normal if it is a thin and clear and will go away on its own.
Now if you're having a female discharge with color or smells than it is probably one of two completely different infections. We need to identify the type of discharge first to determine which infection you have.
If your discharge is white in color, sometimes extremely light almost clear, to a bright white and heavy consistency like cottage cheese then you have a candida infection. This is most common symptom of a yeast infection. This discharge should have no odor and be quite itchy around the vagina.
It can be very frustrating to have a reoccurring yeast condition and even though there are over the counter medications that can alleviate the symptoms they just don't attack the root of the problem. You need to make sure you kill all the candida in your body to insure you won't deal with it again.
A word to the wise a yeast infection can be sexual transmitted between you and your partner. Yep, you guessed it I found that out the hard way. Me and my husband were had no idea that could happen. So I gave it to him and cured myself only to have him give it right back to me. Men generally don't have symptoms of a yeast infection and just carry it. Of course this was before i knew the real trick to just kill all the candida in your entire body. The funny thing is it's so simple with the right program and I was working so hard for a cure before. I just never knew.
Now if your female discharge is yellowish, again sometimes a very light yellow, to a dark yellow almost brown with more of a liquid consistency and a bad odor then you have bacterial vaginosis. The most common bacterial infection symptoms and the easiest to spot are the color and the foul odor. A bacterial infection can have some itching with it but the odor is what is so frustrating, it's just flat out embarrassing to me.
Bacterial Vaginosis is very common and can be treated form the privacy of your own home, which is the way I like it. The most common mistake I hear of people making is to treat this infection like a yeast infection. You cannot cure a bacterial infection with any of the over the counter medications that are for a yeast infection, it just doesnt work.
Bacterial vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted infection like a candida infection. However I would tell you to get this cleared up as soon as possible. Bacterial vaginosis can cause a lot of problems, especially if youre pregnant. Besides its easy if you follow the right steps and there is no sense having it any longer now that you know what it is.
