Something Smells Fishy
My wife sometimes has a bad smelling vagina and it smells like fish. She says it is because of discharge and/or her period. I love to give my wife oral sex, but sometimes the stench lingers and it's hard to enjoy it. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent the smell from ever coming back? >>More

Nothing to Worry About. Normal Discharge
After intercourse with my boyfriend, I noticed a white discharge left on his penis. Sexual intercourse is sometimes a bit painful, but I believe it is due to his girth. The white discharge is sticky but does not smell. And it is thick and at times a bit chunky. This only happens during intercourse. >>More

Constant Vaginal Discharge

I have had constant vaginal discharge for a couple of years. It is often thick and white, and sometimes has a yellow tint to it. I have it all the time up until I start my period and then it starts again once my period is over. I am not sexually active at all. What is it, and what causes it?

I have had constant vaginal discharge for a couple of years. It is often thick and white, and sometimes has a yellow tint to it. I have it all the time up until I start my period and then it starts again once my period is over. I am not sexually active at all. What is it, and what causes it?

Dr Lin’s Response:

This is caused by excessive progesterone in your body. The increase of progesterone will stimulate the cervix to produce white, thick discharge and, the same time, varies the metabolic substrates available to the bacterial flora in the vagina. As a result, the bacteria differ proportions of volatile aliphatic acids, and gives distinctive odors, tastes and colors to vaginal secretions.

In the normal steroid synthesis, there are 2 metabolism pathways for progesterone:

1. Progesterone + liver enzyme 17alpha-hydroxylase (CYP17) => 17-Hydroxyprogesterone => androstenedione (or 11-Deoxycortisol) => testosterone/estrogen (or Cortisol).

2. Progesterone + liver enzyme 21alpha-hydroxylase (CYP21) => Deoxycorticosterone ==> Corticosterone => 18-hyroxycorticosterone => Aldosterone.

If your liver function is too weak to provide sufficient enzymes CYP17 and CYP21, your progesterone level becomes too high. Also check your cholesterol level. The liver enzyme desmolase + LDL Cholesterol => Progenolone => progesterone.

The liver function can be enhanced by the vagus (parasympathetic) nerves and by triggering the liver detoxification with some amino acids and herbs. The liver should produce the essential enzymes to metabolize the excessive steroids. This is supposed to be the liver detoxification job. In this regard, MoodMax can help.

Note: Progesterone-based birth control pills/implant/shot can cause this problem too.
