Brief Answer: What discharge are you talking of, Vaginal? Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this discharge that you have reported. I am assuming that it should be vaginal discharge. If this is not the case, please let me hear from you about what the specific discharge is. Persistent vaginal discharge is of course a big concern and can seriously affect your life style especially sexually. The nature of the discharge has to be investigated like amounts, colour, odour, periodicity, any pains, itches, etc. This would be followed by specimen collection for testing to tell what the exact cause of this discharge is. Most discharges are caused by infections than may b parasitic, bacterial, or fungal. Testing would provide this vital information and treatment would be tailored to address this. If this is rather a case of recurrent vaginal discharge after treatment, then predisposing factors like diabetes, poor douching techniques, poor body hygiene, contaminated rest rooms etc may be at the origin and need to be addressed. In all, get consulted by your OBGYN. Get specimens for testing and address an possible predisposing factors. Treatment would be adapted to address the cause and possible predisposing factors. I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to keep the conversation going on as needed. Thanks for using our services. Dr. Ditah, MD.
