What Causes White Vaginal Discharge?

I am having white discharge problem since my school days. I am 23 now and still a virgin. I am fed up with this problem. I visited a gynecologist once she asked me weird questions like how many times I had sex n all... I felt so uncomfortable I have never visited there again n I want to get rid of this now. I am so skinny just because of this white discharge but am not so sure about this. Please help me

Hi,
I understand your query.
White discharge in a virgin can be explained as-
- normal white discharge- As the menstruation starts, mucus is secreted in
vagina. It is usually clear white discharge without itching/burning in urination.It's consistency changes with hormonal change in menses cycle. The discharge increases at ovulation, before menses,after menses.
- Infection. This can be due to unhygienic habits.(routine/menstrual).
The discharge becomes thick,white/milky or curd like with itching. or white, yellowish with fishy odor.Accompanied by burning in urination, pain in lower back/lower abdomen.
For treatment , you have to consult a gynecologist for physical checkup & investigations.( blood CBC, vaginal swab culture & sensitivity test) followed by specific treatment.
Do visit a doctor, they ask questions to find the probable cause of infection & not to irritate their patients.Treatment without examination will not help.
Thanks.
