Sour Tasting Vaginal Discharge
I noticed that I have sour-tasting vaginal discharge. I noticed it one day while my boyfriend and I were having sex, I went down on him and I almost gagged because my discharge on him was so sour tasting ... it really took me by surprise.
I never had this problem before, and my discharge never tasted sour before except for these last couple of months. There is no smell to it at all, the discharge is pearly white, not clumpy, and I have no redness/itching nor any other symptoms ... it's just the taste. I am not taking any medications or birth control, I have been tested for STD's which all came out negative, PAP smear negative as well.
Does anyone know why this is happening (seriously, this has taken a large toll on my sexual relationship - I don't enjoy it because I am constantly worried about it and I am getting depressed over this). Does anyone have any remedies to get rid of the taste? I have done quite a bit of research and I haven't found much help/explanations. Please help, I am desperate. Thanks.

I've been having a similar problem - my discharge was white and thickish (not clear, slimy/slippery like it should be). There was no smell, but the taste was all wrong - BITTER, SOUR, TART. It was gross and went on for many months. I tried metrondazole (prescribed for BV), and I tried squirting hydrogen peroxide into my vagina, as I had seen some message boards recommend. No avail - the odorless, sour taste remained. It was very gross/embarrassing and I would not let my husband go down on me.
I read last night about baking soda and decided to give it a whirl. Some boards suggested swishing in a bath of baking soda and water but this didn't sound like it would get the solution way up into the problem area enough. So I made a mixture of half baking soda/half water (about a teaspoon of each), poured that into a plastic syringe (no needle of course), laid on my back and squirted the sucker in. It BURNED LIKE HELL. I thought I had made a horrible mistake and splashed cold water on the outside of my vagina to try to stop the burning. It was very painful. I went to bed whimpering and feeling like I had seriously damaged the old Queen Victoria. When I woke up, there was no stinging/burning sensation. Without much hope, I tasted my juices. THE SOUR TASTE WAS GONE!!! I finally, finally tasted like my old, clean, normal self. It's been about 24 hours since the baking soda/water insertion and there is NO SOUR TASTE!!
Ladies, try this out - it's easy and practically free. The only cost is the burning, burning pain you'll feel but that is SO WORTH getting rid of the disgusting, embarrassing sour taste.

Ive been having the exact same problem and i cry after i leave every doctor apointment. My results all come back normal ive been tested for just about everything. My pap just came back normal and i dont have bv or a yeast infection. Im not highly stessed or anything but my discharge is kind of a cloudy white color and it taste really sour. Every time I go to the doctor they say i look normal but its not.
everyone view stess incontinence. Have you ever laughed, coughed, exercised or sneezed and felt a slight wetness below? You need to strenghten you pelvc muscles! I also have this problem. I is most commonly caused from multiple childbirth (when your line is stripped, freq. UTI's, and spinal injuries (Like I have from my car wreck) which affects the pelvic area. Look it up Ive been searching for a answer for 2yrs until recently I hope this helps. WEBMD.COM has detailed information on this disease.
