Increase and thickening of vaginal discharge

Since april 2005, i've noticed a large increase in the amount of vigainal discharge i've been having. I've not had intercourse since march time so i know it's not to do with that. I've taken a thrush tablet-didn't effect it, i've visted my local G.U.M clinic, and had a swab. They gave me antibiotics on the day and a week later txted me my results; they were satisfactory. I've recently changed from the pill, onto the injection, but it hasn't effected it either. It doesnt smell, but it's becoming thicker and whitey-yellowy in colour. Any ideas? I just don't know what to do next. It's making me really unhappy. Thanks x

Given taht your test results came back fine, then you shouldn't worry. Sounds like you are just disgusted and want it to go away.. It is most likely due to the BC you are using. The changes in hormones can increase or decrease discharge. THere are SO MANY reasons why women do this. Everything from the body self lubricating, ovulating, to fighting infection. Just something you have to deal with. Maybe it will ease up after your body adjusts to the BC.
Try not to feel too selfconcious about it, just maybe use a pantyliner when it is heavy..
Sorry I couldn't be of more help..

Your body discharges for any reason. Bubble baths, types of detergent, food, not enough water, BC, and even if you have a really stressful or emotional day.
Since your swab test came back okay, then if there was something wrong the doctor would have brought it to your attention.
The best thing I could tell you is to keep an eye on your diet and how much water you drink. And try drinking some chineese tea. Cammomile is good. Eat some sweet pickeled ginger. It's the pink stuff served with Sushi. Both the tea and ginger will detoxify your body.
Your body might be clogged up. We all need some detox every now and then. For us women, discharging is the lovely way our body lets us know it's not clean.
Hope that helps.
