Looking for an opinion more than anything! I went for my first ever smear test around 2 weeks ago now, the nurse said everything looks 'nice and healthy down there' but since then i've experienced a lot more discharge than normal which appears slightly off-white with a yellow tinge on toilet paper but white on finger/sometimes completely clear. Consistency wise the discharge is watery and not stretchy, there is no smell, itching or burning. I'm currently taking the contraceptive pill and wondering if this has anything to do with it?!
forgot to mention i am still waiting for my smear results!
I don’t see anything unusual. Often the contraceptive increases and changes the vaginal secretion.
Thank you for your reply! I suppose my only concern is experiencing some level of discharge on a pretty much daily basis which i had not done previously and I occasionally experience mild pain during sex (should of mentioned this) but it isn’t a consistent thing/ does not happen every time so wasn’t sure if it was worth going to see someone about it when Covid-19 permits
(im in a long term relationship)
No, normal, this discharge ends up getting thicker due to the contraceptive, making the passage of sperm difficult, nothing to worry about. Now, about the little pain you are feeling in intercourse, I cannot say what it is, it may be nothing, but talk to your doctor. But I think everything is normal.
So i finally got my smear test results, all is fine apart from i have been told i had thrush (very common, easily treatable)! Never had thrush before.
My symptoms were slight pain during sex, slight pain during urination (mistaken for dehydration) and increased vaginal discharge.
totally normal.
Thanks for your response! Turns out i actually had thrush but apart from that everything else is ok.
