You need to see your doctor.  If they swabbed you and said it was normal, then it is normal.  You then need to wash outside the area well.  Do not douche.  But if it is something that you can 'treat' a doctor will diagnose that.  So, go back to the doctor and get swabbed one last time and let that be your deciding factor.  good luck

Hi there.  Well, it if is like cottage cheese, it can be a yeast infection.  This usually itches quite a bit as well.  Is this what is happening?  Monostat ONE day works pretty well but takes about 2 days to really work.  Your doctor can also prescribe something that is a pill you take.  Very effective.  Eat probiotic yogurt as well which helps.

however, if it doesn't itch and has a foul smell, it could be bacterial vaginosis.  This requires antibiotics prescribed by your doctor to get rid of it.  

with both of these, you should only have protected sex with a condom.

I would see a doctor to swab the discharge and see exactly what it is and then to decide treatment from there.  good luck
