OK, Girls, white stuff can mean several things... Cervical mucous, smegma, sebum, and other so-called "normal" skin secretions are expected in these regions of a woman's body. There are, however, some nasties that can present with this type of "gooey white discharge". Don't be alarmed, just be advised that a doctor or med professional has to test for pathogens (germs), and rule out other physical issues. Hey, Gals, our bodies are more like a fine Swiss watch, with lots of things going on inside the outer shell compared to our male partners, like a simple hourglass, with all moving parts basically visible! I know, it stinks, but that's it.

YOU are too important to yourself & your family to ignore this, or to rely on advisors like US. Please get yourself to a med professional, a nurse practitioner, or a clinic to see what's going on.

Life is too short to screw around with maybe this, maybe that. Girl, DO IT, and get healthy.

Sorry, I am in the twilight of my life, and I wish I'd taken better care.

Sincerely,

Ali

You may have a case of Bacterial Vaginitis. This is a bacterial infection that can be caused by everything from douching to the type of soap you use, or if your a back to front wiper... It is typically more annoying than harmful, but you do need to go see your OB/Gyn. You may just need a dose of antibiotics or an antifungal in some cases as well. Just go ahead and get it checked out. And remember "your va-jay-jay is a like a self cleaning oven" Lol... you dont need heavy cleaner... always just use mild saop and water and address any strange discharge as soon as it occurs.

Good Luck

Do you have any itching in your vaginal area...if severe itching exists it could also be a severe case of yeast infection.
