Question:
I have been sexually active since i was sixteen years old. Since the first time i ever had sex(and every time after that)there has been a white discharge coming out of my vagina. It always happens during sexual intercourse only. The discharge it kinda thick ,smooth not clumpy and white. It doesn't have an unusual odor to it. Is there something wrong w/ me? Should i be concerned? it turns me off from wanting sex. distress: Its a big problem for me cause i don't think its normal. I'm afraid that other partners that i might have will think I'm a freak and that I'm disgusting. medications: prednisone for kidney problems

A couple of things come to mind from the discharge you describe. If you're having unprotected sex, then the white discharge is probably semen. If you practice safe sex, yet still experience this discharge, then it's probably just your normal vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge varies from female to female and changes with the menstrual cycle. It can be clear to egg-yolk white, depending on where you are in your ovulation cycle. My best recommendation for you would be to see a physician just to make sure it isn't a discharge due to a sexually transmitted infection. Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network. Yvonne K.
