Even after I shower, I have a lot of vaginal discharge/odor...?

I agree with Mohamed!\n\nI would like to add that you can use a vaginal douche. Try to use water only.  It empties out the excess discharge.  Try not to use it too often.  You don't want to eliminate the "good" bacteria.  That could lead to infection.\n\nIf you take a bath, lie down as much as possible and with your finger, try to clean your insides a bit.  That usually fixes the problem.

If you have a yeast infection, the discharge is usually white and looks like cottage cheese, and it itches REALLY bad. You're probably just spotting normally - most women have it at least some months before or after the period or when they ovulate in mid-cycle. If it gets really heavy or smells terrible, see your doctor, but what you describe sounds okay to me. Hope this eases your mind some.

It could be a yeast infection, However do not go to the store and buy treatments without first going to your DOCTOR. Especially if you keep getting these and they go away and come back. It could be something else.\nIf your symptoms don't match this list, or you are confused or uncertain, go see a doctor if at all possible.\n\n Feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. This itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone ride your bike to the pharmacy or doctor to get it treated. \n Looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. Most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear. \n\n Smells like bread or beer. In fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). \n \nthere are other nasty creatures besides yeast that can sometimes infect your crotch, and it's helpful to know the symptoms of all of them so you can be really sure before you go treat yourself for a yeast infection you might not have. \n\n a bacterial infection of the vagina can feel a lot like a yeast infection if the vulval area is itchy or painful. unlike a yeast infection, the discharge can be dark yellow, green, or brown. and it won't smell like bread: it can smell like fish or something rotting, particularly after you have sex. if you think you might have a bacterial infection, or if you're not sure, get your diseased self to a doctor, sister. the main treatment is prescription antibiotics. \n\n urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are due to bacteria infecting the urethra rather than the vagina. (and if you aren't sure about the difference, check out elf sternberg's page on the sexual anatomy of women.) UTIs can be fairly easily distinguished from vaginal infections by a host of symptoms, including pain or burning when urinating, blood or mucus in urine, needing to urinate often, pain or pressure in back or lower abdomen, and a fever or chills. if you think you might have a UTI, don't mess around: go see a doctor, because the infection can travel up past the bladder, causing kidney damage. \n\n trichomoniasis is caused by a parasite that can infect both the vagina and the urinary tract, and is primarily sexually transmitted. if you have a trich infection, your crotch can be itchy or painful, it can hurt to urinate, intercourse can be painful, and occasionally you can experience pain in your lower abdomen. again, you have to see a doctor to get antibiotics for trich.

It's just cervical fluid.  It's totally natural.  It will also vary in consistancy depending on where you are in your monthly cycle.  Now, if your discharge is yellowish and smells really bad, it may be sign of an infection & you should consult your doctor.

Could just be vaginal discharge (whitish and watery), could be urine, could be sweat. Look at and smell the fluid. If you are unsure, ask your family doctor to help you identify the problem. Good luck!

It sounds like you have a vaginal infection... such as a yeast infection.\n\nI would recommend seeing a doctor if this is your first encounter with a yeast infectiong.  I know it can be embarassing but it's important to know for sure what it is so you can have it treated. \n\nIf it is a yeast infection and your doctor confirms it, you will be able to tell what it is next time and just go buy Monostat (or other over the counter treatment).\n\nResearch has shown that daily ingestion of yogurt containing the bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus helps in the prevention and treatment of candidal vaginitis (a.k.a. yeast infections).\n\n\nHope that helps.

I really think you are freaking yourself out and need to calm down.  If you are on a bc pill, they are not always perfect.  Sometimes you cycle can get a little off even when you are on the pill.  If you also wore a condom, then I'm sure you are safe.  The discharge is probably nothing to worry about either, many if not most women have some type of discharge, and your case it could be just because your cycle was a little off.  Quit panicking and calm down.  If the discharge gets worse or if it starts to develop a bad smell, then perhaps you have a yeast infection.  If you really are as worried as you seem to be, call your gyno and talk to his/her nurse, I'm sure she will confirm what I told you.

Because it is a overgrowth of yeast in a otherwise normal discharge. Small amounts of yeast and other organisms are normally found in your vagina, as well as in your mouth and digestive tract. Yeast infections occur when the balance of organisms in your vagina is upset and the amount of yeast in your vagina overgrows, causing an infection. Yeast infections are most likely to act up just before or just after your menstrual period. If you believe you have a yeast infection for the first time, go to your doctor so that they can rule out anything more serious such as an STD and there should not be any overwheming fishy smell if so mention it your doctor, it could be something more serious. Good luck.

You may have a yeast infection.\n\nGo see your doctor or if you don't have one go to the drugstore and purchase monostat or a generic version and use that.\n\nYou should also purchase some cranberry juice or cranberry pills (in the vitamin eisle) it helps keep the area healthy when you drink the juice or take the pill.\n\nYou can also wash frequently and wear panty liners found in the tampon eisle.  Putting some body powder like shower to shower in your underwear will also help with the smell.\n\nNothing to worry about-it's normal.

It could be a yeast infection or BV - Bacterial Vaginosis. Go to your nearest OBGyn for further analysis

It is normal to have vaginal discharge. It is how the vag cleans itself. If the discharge smells funny, your sister needs to see a doctor immediately for an exam to rule out cervical cancer, clammydia or even a yeast infection. All sexually active girls, even if you've only done it once, need to have these tests once a year to protect themselves. \n\nYou should also take questions like these to your mother or an aunt to get real help.

It feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, in your vagina and the surrounding area. This itching is not always present, but can get really bad. looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. most medical descriptions compare the discharge to cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear. \nIt usually smells like bread or beer. in fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). \nYou should not miss your period with this,\ntry this website for more info\nhttp://www.msu.edu/user/eisthen/yeast/symptom.html\n\n\n its very annoying, wearing cotton underwear and not using bubble bath and alot of stuff down there can help. You can get over the counter stuff to use at night or in the day, drink cranberry juice. If after using the over the counter stuff it doesn't go or comes back then you may need to go to the doctor for some stronger meds.\nit is very common in women, it can happen to any one of us unfortunately, (like we don't have enough on our plates to deal with).xx

Vaginal odor could be due to an infection.  If it is a foul odor, then you have an infection.  It would be best to be checked out by your doctor to see what is going on.  Avoid douching as this can disrupt the normal bacterial content of your body and make things even worse.
