Black Stringy Vaginal Discharge

I Just had my tubes tied in february the surgery went well and I healed quickly but before I had the surgery I noticed this black Stringy tar like discharge that would come and go.Now I have it all the time and it is a lot thicker. I have HPV and I am wondering if someone can please tell me what this is and if it is cause by hpv.( I have been in for a pap test and an std check everything was normal)I get pains in my upper center stomach area that have come and gone for almost 12 years these pains bring me to my knees,However all the doctors have done is check my blood and came back with (You have a low white blood cell count).I have so many symptoms that is so long to list but this one is what is scaring me the most.Can someone please help me.
Thank you; asil

Hi There;  I also have black stringy discharge.  For me it has been about six months or so and the week before my period.  I also usually feel like I'm coming down with the flu right around the same time every month.  Sore muscles, headaches, super tired and extremely sensitive (cry very easily).  I'm chalking it up to hormones but it's pretty brutal and it's every month!  I'm turning forty... maybe early menopause?  My cycle is alot shorter then it used to be also but lots of spotting leading up to it.  Also, every time I get blood tests done the only thing they tell me is my white blood cell count is high.  Very aggravating not to get any real answers, eh?

HI I LOOKED ON SEVERAL WEB PAGES AND THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID THE SAME THING.WHERE YOU WENT THE FIRST TIME IS ALL THEY HAVE IN THAT AREA.DO YOU LIEVE VLOSE TO ANOTHER TOWN THAT MIGHT HAVE PLENTY OF DOCTORS AND NOT CLINICS?THE REASON THEY HAVE CLINICS IN THAT AREA IS DUE TO THE DOCTOR SHORTAGES.I AM SORRY I COULDN'T BE OF MUCH HELP.BUT IF YOU LIEVE CLOSE TO A NEAR BY TOWN WHERE THEY JUST HAVE DOCTORS AND NOT CLINICS,THAT WOULD BE YOUR BEST OPTION.YOU CAN ALL SO GO TO THE HOSPITAL IF YOUR SYMPTOMS CONTINUE TO GET WORST,THEY WOULD DO A BATTERY OF TESTS ON YOU,SOME THING YOU NEED TO HAVE DONE ANY WAYS.STRESS DOES NOT CAUSE BLACK STRINGY DICHARGE,OR BURNING AND TINGLING SENSATIONS IN YOUR FEET.OR PAIN IN YOUR STOMACH THAT WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES.MY SUGGESTION IS THE NEXT EPISODE YOU HAVE GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT O.K. HON,I WISH THERE WAS MORE I COULD DO FOR YOU.LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING,AND TAKE OF YOUR SELF TNT406.

HI IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE WRINGER WITH DOCTORS.DO YOU SEE A GYNECOLOGIST OR JUST YOU REGULAR FAMILY DOCTOR FOR THIS?YOU MIGHT NEED TO THINK DOWN THE LINE OF SEEING A SPECIALIST IN THIS AREA OF MEDICINE.THE PAINS YOU DESCRIBED ARE IN THE MIDDLE IF YOUR STOMACH,NOT IN THE LOWER PART OF YOUR ABDOMEN IS THAT RIGHT?AND YOUR WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT IS LOW,THAT ALONE SHOULD SEND UP A RED FLAG TO YOUR DOCTOR.HAVING A LOW WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT USUALLY MEANS YOUR BODY IS FIGHTING OFF AN INFECTION.YOU DON'T NEED TO WAIT ANY LONGER ON GETTING DIAGNOSED.YOU ALL SO SAID YOU HAD MANY MORE SYMPTOMS,I WISH YOU HAD PUT THEM IN YOUR POST.YOU CAN ADD THEM IF YOU LIKE,I'LL READ OVER THEM.TOMORROW IS FRIDAY TRY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SPECIALIST THAT DEALS IN JUST WOMEN'S DISORDERS AND NOTHING ELSE O.K.ASK YOUR FAMILY FOR ADVICE ON ONE THAT THEY HAVE SEEN OR ONE THAT HAS GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS.ONE THAT YOU KNOW THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.THERE ARE DOCTORS THAT ARE REAL GOOD AND SOME THAT ARE NOT WORTH A NICKLE.IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE ALL READY GOT ONE OF THEM,SO LETS TRY TO FIND YOU ANOTHER ONE.TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF AND KNOW THAT I WILL HELP YOU IN ANY I CAN AS OTHERS WILL ON THIS FORUM.TNT406
