Brief Answer:
could be normal in absence of itching.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle, or when you are aroused, breastfeeding or ovulating.
If white discharge is not accompanied by itching or burning, then it could be normal.
If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection (for which you have taken diflucan).
You do not have itching.
Do you have any vaginal swelling, foul smell from discharge?
Has the discharge continued till now from 7 July?
I hope you are maintaining good vaginal hygiene.
Kindly reply back in follow-up question.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Sorry for late response.
As your vaginal discharge is recurring and bothering you, I would advise you to take tablet diflucan 150mg once weekly for three weeks.
Alongwith this, use vaginal pessary clotrimazole for six nights. (Under doctor's supervision).
If the discharge still persists, you must go for pelvic examination as well as vaginal discharge testing.
Kindly discuss this with your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
