Is It Normal To Have Vaginal Discharge Post Ureaplasma Infection Treatment?
Question: Hi.. 1 year ago i started having ureaplasma i had two recurrent infections of it.. And some yeast infections as well.. I was on medication the whole year because i always felt like there was something not normal after i got the first ureaplasma especially that it took 3 months for my dr to realize that it is ureaplasma.. Anyway ever since my normal discharge became white-ish especially during sex where i can see the white discharge on my partners genitals and all my tests are negative so im sure its not an infection.. Im using polygynax before and after sex now so that the white discharge wont show during sex because its not a pleasant view but once i stop polygynax it goes back to the white discharge.. My dr says its normal although i never had this before being diagnosed with ureaplasma.. My question is, will my discharge go back to normal which is just clear discharge? And how can i make it go back to normal?
Brief Answer:
Likely to be a normal discharge.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Some amount of vaginal discharge is normal, there are glands that secrete a mucoid discharge that varies according to where a women is in her menstrual cycle.
At about day 14 of the cycle , when ovulation occurs there is an increase in secretions.
The white discharge that you have is likely to be due to your healthy vaginal flora.
If the discharge is slightly yellow, with itching then it may be a yeast infection which can be treated with an over the counter anti fungal cream or ovules
If it is whitish gray with an odor then it may be due to bacterial vaginosis which is also treated with topical agents.
If there is a organism mixed with the mucus to cause a discharge, identification would require a swab to be done by your doctor. The discharge is not likely to be related to ureaplasma infection that you had earlier. It will gradually decrease on its own.
You can do the following things to decrease the discharge-
1.Avoid irritation of the genital organs caused by various factors such as dirt, soiled under garments, intestinal worms and excessive mental stimulation of sex or masturbation.
2. One of the things you can add to your daily diet is a banana that is dipped in clarified butter or ghee. This should be eaten with breakfast and lunch.
3. Increase your intake of cranberry juice. This juice has quite a number of properties that are good for women.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.

I am now using gynophilis which restores the vaginal ph.. The white discharge is not solid and its not yellow its just blended with the clear discharge.. My dr says its normal but this wasnt the same discharge i had before i was diagnosed with the ureaplasma.. My dr says i worry too much about it and should just continue with the gynophilis and polygynax and forget myself for a fee months and things will go back to normal
Brief Answer:
Your doctor is right.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The mild change in the appearance of the discharge is due to a mild change in vaginal flora and pH. Since you took antibiotics many times it can affect the vaginal flora. It is best to just wait for a few weeks and continue with Gynophills and polygynax.
Hope my answer is helpful.
