Discharge (bloody, purulent...), white wash... - general questions
in Women's Health ·
Hey everyone! First time posting here. I’ve scrolled through some of the previous pages so I kind of get the vibe, but I really need some advice. Usually, I barely deal with white discharge—maybe 2 or 3 days a month—and I just push through it. But yesterday morning was totally different. It was super heavy, which was bad timing because I had my appointment scheduled. When the gynecologist saw how much there was, he couldn't even do the Pap smear; instead, he sent me for a swab to test for bacteria.
Did the tests today and now I'm just waiting on the results. The discharge hasn't stopped today either, and the outside area is itching on and off. I think the doctor assumes this is a regular thing for me, but honestly, yesterday was the first time it ever hit me this hard.
Also, right after the exam, my stomach started cramping like crazy and won't quit, plus the discharge is still there... So now I'm heading to DM to grab some pantyliners, though I'm not sure if that's actually a good idea. This is all so intense for me since it's my first time dealing with anything this "extreme," so I'm feeling pretty lost...
