Vaginal discharge

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone:

Here's a pretty gross question for you all: what is " normal " vaginal

discharge supposed to look like? Do you guys have discharge all the time?

I know everyone is probably different, but is there some kind of standard

somewhere by which to judge what is " normal " ?

I'm asking this because the new doctor I've been seeing has put me on

antibiotics twice for what she calls an infection in my cervix and lining of

the uterus. After the first round of antibiotics, she said the infection

was still there and put me on another antibiotic. But, the discharge is

still coming and, in fact, I think it's been this way since my baby was born

TWO YEARS ago!!! Could I possibly have an infection from that sponge the

idiot OB left behind for 11 days? How could all those other doctors miss

it? Although, I don't think anyone else ever even cultured for infection.

Thanks for any info.

Dena,

Here's a web site that tells the difference between normal and

abnormal discharge. Hope it helps.
