Vaginal discharge without infection

Posted by dominos123 @dominos123, Jul 16, 2023

Hi everyone,
does anyone have problems with constant white and thick discharge without any vaginal infection? When I’m not using probiotics apt others vaginal suppositories I feel itching and burning. It seems like Candida but all my test were negative. I’ve tested negative on STD’s: mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia and Ghonorea. Also tested negative on HPV virus and on my bacteriological swab there are not present yeast nor fungi nor pathogen bacterias.

Please if anyone has same problem or if anyone has solved this, let me know…
It’s really frustrating and depressing…

@naturegirl5 i’ve been to a few doctors and they test me every time but evething always come back negative so they tell me to do things im doing anyways like shower daily, wear cotton underwear, use hydrocortisone cream (which occasionally helps) but i want to know the root issue. the other symptoms im having are itching internal and external. and i’ve been told apparently i taste sour? weird i know sorry but it seems important to mention. two weeks ago i saw my gynecologist got tested and they said i was fine and then i went later i went to my urogynecologist and they said they saw the bv bacteria so now they’re treating me for that but im not really any better AND now im spotting. very odd spotty discharge i honestly am at my limit bc no antibiotics have helped me in the past and they won’t now… im in a relationship too so its very hard to be having this issue. sorry i went on a rant. but if you know anything at all that could help im willing to try literally anything. this is so draining its been over a year…

@mkt0782 What you've written is distressing. This is all so puzzling that there must be a provider in medicine who will help to figure this out.

Do you live in a large enough area where there are other providers so you can get another opinion? I'm also thinking about a clinic that really specializes in women's health.

I recall having what was thought to be bacterial vaginosis (BV) when I was in my 20's and 30's. That was a long time ago and I never did get better. As I think back the BV disappeared by the time I entered my late 30's and 40's (I'm now 73 years old so this truly was a long time ago). What sort of progress has been made since then?

You mentioned that you are spotting? As in what looks like menstrual blood? I don't recall if you are peri-menopausal or post-menopausal? This is sounding like a very thorough medical workup is needed.

Are you able to travel to the Menopause and Women's Sexual Health Clinic in Rochester, MN? You can self-refer. I've been seen there for a variety of sexual health problems mostly related to my endometrial cancer, subsequent hysterectomy, and radiation therapy that has affected my sexual health and relationship. There are wonderful providers and nurse educators there.

Here is the link to self-refer:

What kind of testing has been done by your gynecologist and urogynecologist?
