Question Posted Thursday November 17 2005, 2:51 am
So. I know gross but i think it is safe to say this is mostly populated with girls so you all in some way sometime in your life come into a problem simular to this.
So my boyfriend and I have been sexual active for 6 months and a month ago we stopped using condoms because it was comfortable for either him and or i. Sex without a condom was much more comfortable for both him and i. But I do not recomend it to anyone, use protection...Anyways after the first time we did that I got a urinary track infection, which i didnt go to the doctors for because it wasnt life threatning or anything. Anyways after a couple days it got worse, i was getting white discharge all the time when i used the rest room or when i was just walking around i felt leaking...about two weeks later it got worse, i was ichty down there every once and awhile and the white discharge increased and it started to get an oder. Well I douched and started taking care of myself as much as I could and it went away. While having the UTI i was still having sex but it didnt seem to bother it. Well today after intercourse he noticed thick white discharge on him and I on me. I smelled it but it didnt really have an oder at all and I was very confused, so i went to the restroom and whipped and noticed spotting of blood im suppose to start my period tomorrow so i just wrote it off to that and put a tampon in but when i took it out, it was completly dry not one thing on it. Well later last night we had sex again, but the thing is I orgasmed more than the first but I didnt have the thick white discharge this time...I thought that was kind of weird.
See I was thinking could it be, because we are having sex without a comdom and my body is just getting use to it. Or is it what my boyfriend said...that we dont have lube so he was rubbing me too much and maybe tearing me a little and that could be the reason but I dont know how it could be...
Im very confused. Please dont tell me to go see a doctor i cant afford to no health insurance and Im just wondering if it should be something to be totally freaked out on?
if you have any advice let me know. i will rate you very high...thank you for your time have a great day...and sorry if this grossed you out.

Sorry I wasn't much helped I'm just trying to let you know you're not alone. [ Christeena's advice column | Ask Christeena A Question ]

The bleeding was probably due to your hymen breaking which is more difficult to do with a condom. Otherwise, it could be your body adjusting to this new feeling and it is very likely that your boyfriend is tearing you slightly. Why not add 5-10 more minutes on foreplay, that way, tearing is less likely to happen.
Best of luck! :)

I would suggest you both see a doctor. It's best to get checked out just to rule out something more serious. Left untreated, there's a possibility that you could get worse or infection can spread.
If you can't afford a doctor, try your local health department or check your phone book for a low-income clinic. They generally go by your income on the fees they charge so it should cost much, if anything. Our local low-income clinic only charges $10 a visit.

It is normal to have some vaginal discharge, because the vagina stays moist as part of its self-cleansing mechanism. Normal, moist discharge clears dead cells and bacteria from the vagina.
The amount of discharge varies depending on the woman and on the menstrual cycle. The consistency and amount of discharge can vary depending on the time of the month. The colour can also slightly change. Many women notice that in the week following a period there is hardly any discharge.
In regards to a woman's natural discharge, you can't stop it from happening, although some women prefer to wear panty liners to protect their underwear.
Normal discharge is generally clear or slightly milky in colour, and should not smell bad, therefore, it's possible you have an infection. To find out for sure, you can go to your local doctor. Try not to feel embarrassed about visiting your doctor about this, as they will deal with this sort of thing on a regular basis.

I know you said not to advise seeing a doctor but you really need to see some sort of healthcare professional.
There is no-one on here that can really advise you what it is as there are all sorts of discharges you get for all sorts of reasons.
When it comes to your health it is really not worth risking it. You BOTH need to be checked out to rule out the possibility of anything nasty.
It could be something as simple as your body not being used to sex without a condom or it could be something that needs medical treatment.
Am not sure where you live as you don't say but in most countries of the world there are free sexual health clinics, you and your bf should get along to one!
Take care and sorry I can't tell you waht it is but this is the best advice I can give you.
karenR answered Thursday November 17 2005, 8:52 am: Since he too has had the white discharge I think it would be a good idea for you to see a doctor.It may be nothing but the peace of mind you will get from knowing for sure will be worth it.
UTIs very rarely get better on their own. You really do need to see a doctor about them, especially if they recur often.
I know you can't afford to go to the doctor. Look in your local phone book and find your countys health department. They will look at it for free or at a greatly reduced cost. If they can't then maybe they could at least tell you where in your area you can go for treatment.
I know going to the doctor is expensive. But a hospital stay is much more expensive. Not that I think this problem would turn into that, but you should not let some things go because they can get worse....costing you more in the long run.
So look in the phone book. Look for a health department, free clinic, ask a nurse hot-line...anything along those lines. See if you can't find somewhere to have a checkup. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
