At wits end with discharge

[keeponplodding7]

I’m at my wits end with weeks and weeks of uncomfortable thick discharge sometimes watery. I have seen a gyno, had all sorts of swabs - everything has come back clear - and the only thing they saw was a very small polyp. They are going to scan again in a couple
of weeks and if it’s still there I’ll get it removed. I’m going to start hrt next week as having other peri symptoms so wondered if that might help in case it’s hormonal . But I honestly don’t know where to go with this as every yeast, bv, ureaplasma etc is clear! It definitely feels and is worse some days more than others. I’m taking a probiotic etc and don’t wash with any soaps down there etc…..anyone with anything like this please give me hope I’ll eventually figure it out!

Bump anyone?

You could do a private test with a company called Digital Microbiology - they are very good (expensive though).

I had a condition called Aerobic Vaginitis so you could look that up and see if it fits with what you are experiencing.

Thank you - I should have said I’ve had a microbiome test which came up with no problems including av. glad you are feeling better

My DD swabbed clear for BV several times but the hospital consultant decided to treat for it on the off chance as they had run out of ideas. First course helped enormously, second course cleared it. Tests aren't infallible.

Oh that’s interesting thank you

• Just to update this - in case it’s helpful. I had a hysteroscopy this week for a polyp which actually had already disappeared- but they noticed cervical ectropion so this could well be the cause for the discharge. I have had several examinations and no one has mentioned this before.

Just to update again - I’m still suffering. Absolutely at a complete loss and can’t understand how no one can help me - I just can’t be the only person to have this problem. I’ve had another microbiome test since June and the only thing they can suggest is I have too much crispatus which can cause shedding and that’s the discharge as it’s too acidic. But baking soda doesn’t seem to be helping. If anyone can suggest anything I’d be so so grateful as I’m utterly miserable and fed up and don’t know where to go or who to turn too next. I just want to feel normal again

I'm sorry you're having trouble OP. How old are you? If over 40 it could be related to vaginal atrophy / GSM. Vaginal estrogen could help.

I’m 43. I did try it at the beginning of the year for about 6 weeks - but I didn’t feel any better
