Vaginal sweating...
Hello,
I have been having a problem and I would like some advise. I stopped taking contraceptive a year ago because my vagina sweat profusely. I thought it was a side-effect from the contraceptive but it prolongs. Lately when I sweat;my vagina has a sweaty odor,my underwear and leggings get really damp. I find this extremely embarrassing. As a result of this, I shower and change my underwear 3 times a day. However,I am worried. I do not have a vaginal infection and I haven't been sexually active for 2 years now. I am wondering if there is a way to stop the sweating?

Hello,
The increased discharge could be due to physiological reasons like rise of hormone level (oestrogen) which is seen- during puberty, menstrual cycle, sexual excitement, pregnancy etc. It could be also seen in poor personal hygiene, non-infective cervical lesions, uterine prolapse, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, use of contraceptive pills, onset of vaginal infection or sexually transmitted disease etc. You should consult a gynecologist for internal examination and investigation to know the exact cause of it.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

As embarrassing as it may be, consult your doctor. I have the same problem, and I am set to see my doctor for it next month. Mine may be because I am overweight, not sure what your situation may be. But doctors hear these things every day, and sometimes its as simple as changing one thing. Good Luck and Take Care!
