Sour Tasting Vaginal Discharge

[Kerr123]

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.

The taste of personal fluids can change depending upon many factors. Diet changes, eating certain foods, hormone changes, stress, lack of sleep, illness, etc.

This is NOT normal no matter what these people keep saying.
It happened to me too. I’ve been to 4 different gynecologists. Literally been tested for everything. They can’t come up with a reason.
I’ve been put on a very strict diet, tried every kind of prescription and over the counter medicine and remedy. Tried at least 10 different home remedies. Nothing helps. No one seems to know anything about why this happens to a handful of women.
I have stopped having sex. With anyone. Stopped dating. I guess that part of my life is over now. It’s too embrassijg.

It's definitely natural and any man or woman that can't handle the taste should be embarassed at what a ***** THEY are

This is definitely NOT normal. I’ve never a problem with this until 3 years ago. Same issue....all negative results. No odor BUT my vagina couldn’t go a full 12 hours without smelling “smell”. Just last week, I tried Queen V boric acid and it completely got rid of the discharge and sour/bitter taste. I’ve had this problem for three years and finally back to normal!

It is normal.   Your own bodily factors is what changes the taste smell to an extent.  Obviously if you have an STI or STD it is going to cause a difference.  As for me I only have the sour ,ascidity  taste and smell  Only when my hormones have changed.  This usually only occurs when I am pregnant.  It has occurred once or twice before without being pregnant and it  Was when I had a dramatic weight change which will cause your hormones to change as well.

It is due to acidity. Vaginas can have a sour taste at times and even sometimes metallic due to their high acidity.

HI, WHAT MEDICATION HELPED  YOU?

[specialmom]

Hi there. It helps to start your own thread as you will then get direct help.  If you have yeast overgrowth, Diflucan is a tablet a doctor can prescribe or you can use something like monostat ovules which you buy over the counter at a drug store and insert into your vagina.  Those usually take care of vaginal candida overgrowth.

Perfectly normal as long as there is no smell or itch or rash!! Just eat and drink things that contain natural nutrients and sugars, waters etc... it's like the mans protein or a Childs breast milk what you eat is what will mix and come out of your body!
