What Is The Thick White Discharge?
I have been taking flagyl and bacterium Ds along with probiotic acidophilus, since last Monday, I was wondering what is causing the thick white discharge I have had for the past few days. Also for the past two months I have only stpotted due to pcos so not exactly sure when my start date is. What could this be? Also no itching or burning

Hi,
Thick curdy white discharge usually denotes a vaginal infection caused by candida which is a yeast. Itching may or may not be present in this condition.
Anti-fungal drugs such as fluconazole or clotrimazole should be taken for about 5 days. Topical anti-fungal creams can also be used. Vaginal hygiene and pH should be maintained.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
