Question:

I have been using the Ortho-Evra patch for birth control for about 9 months. For the last 3 or 4 months I've had an excessive amount of vaginal discharge. The discharge is liquid, slightly sticky, very watery, has a very slight odor to it. If caught on a tissue, it sometimes has a faint yellow tint to it. I was treated for baterial vaginosis. Nurse said if not examined under a microscope she would not have been able to tell. After 7-day treatment, excessive liquid discharge still remains. It's almost like incontinence, but it's coming from my vagina. What is causing this? It's like excessive vaginal lubrication. Some doctors and nurses said it was just the vagina cleaning itself. I think this is excessive. It just runs out of me periodically during the day and especially at night. My sheet is wet in the morning from this watery fluid. What is going on?

Answer:

Your excessive discharge is due to the over-stimulation of progestin -- the artificial progesterone in your birth control -- which is poisoning your cervix. The brown discharge also indicates liver poisoning. You are unfortunately suffering a common side effect of birth control.

Standard birth control medication emulates a pregnancy state by flooding the brain with excessive progesterone and/or estrogen, so that your brain will think you are pregnant and then shut down your ovarian function. This results in excessive progesterone or estrogen in the uterus and cervix. When the liver fails to detoxify the excessive hormones and to fully support the synthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, acetylcholine and serotonin, you may suffer from depression, low libido and orgasmic dysfunction.

If there is excessive estrogen in the bloodstream, the vagina becomes too wet and has no feeling. The labia minors and clitoral foreskin will grow if the tissue is exposed to excessive estrogen for a long time. Breast tissue becomes tender and saggy. If there is excessive progesterone in the bloodstream, the vagina becomes too dry, numb, discharges very heavily, or develops a yeast infection. It may also lead to intercourse pains, due to a lack of the anti-inflammatory hormone prostaglandin E-1 and excessive amounts of the inflammatory hormone prostaglandin E-2.

In either condition, the clitoris and G-spot will shrink as a result of a severe deficiency of the androgen hormones androstenedione, free testosterone and DHT. Thyroid function may slow, leading to weight gain weight with more fat cells in the belly and hips.

Progestin in hormone-based birth control generally causes a heavy vaginal discharge, due to the over-stimulation of the cervix by excessive progesterone. The artificial hormones Progestin and Conjugated Estrogen can cause spotting from the uterine lining. When the spotting is very small, it will stay inside the vagina and mix with cervical mucus. When the spotting blood is oxidized, the resulting vaginal discharge becomes dark black or brown, depending on the quantity of the spotting blood and the duration it was trapped inside. If it is trapped for too long, yeast can change its color to black or produce a bad smell.

To reverse the damage caused by birth control medication, ViaPal-HGH-J, DeToxiA and fish oil (1000 mg each meal) will help you gradually rejuvenate your neuro-endocrine function, detoxify your liver, uterus and cervix, and boost your prostaglandin E-1/E-3, oxytocin and nitric oxide production for healing.

To reduce recurrent yeast infections, supplement with lactobacillus cultures, a type of good bacteria that's common in your vagina. Aloe vera is helpful for infections and is known for its healing effects. It can be applied topically to relieve itching or taken internally or used in a douche. Barberry has potent infection-fighting properties. Calendula and vitamin A vaginal suppositories are soothing and healing, while Goldenseal suppositories are useful for all types of infection. Chamomile has antifungal properties. Cinnamon and dandelion inhibit the growth of Candida albicans. Echinacea has antifungal properties and enhances the immune system. Pau d'arco contains natural antibiotic agents and has a healing effect. Topical tea tree oil cream is effective against vaginal yeast infections.

Unlike standard tampons that absorb the natural fluids needed to keep the vagina clean and moist, Sea Pearls are completely natural sea sponge tampons containing no Dioxin or synthetic fibers. Safe and reusable for six months or more, Sea Pearls are healthy, economical, easy to use, and earth friendly. In addition, the DivaCup is a healthy and effective natural solution to vaginal discharge. The DivaCup is non-absorbent and simply collects the menstrual flow, leaving the natural moisture level in the vagina undisturbed.

Good hygiene may prevent unhealthy vaginal discharge. Rinse soap from your outer genital area after a shower, and dry the area well to prevent irritation. Wipe from front to back after using the toilet to avoid spreading fecal bacteria to your vagina. Use a male latex condom to help avoid infections spread by sexual contact. Wear cotton underwear and pantyhose with a cotton crotch. Avoid wearing underwear to bed, as yeast thrives in moist environments.

Refrain from normal douching. Repetitive douching disrupts the normal organisms that live in the vagina and can actually increase your risk of vaginal infection. Instead, douche with infusions made from antiseptic herbs such as calendula, garlic, goldenseal, fresh plantain, St. John's wort, or tea tree oil, along with herbs such as comfrey leaves to soothe irritation.

There are a number of herbal supplements that provide a safe and effective alternative to birth control pills. Wild carrot, or Queen Anne's lace, is a proven anti-fertility herb. Wild yam was originally used in birth control pills and has the effect of blocking conception when taken daily in rather large doses. Neem oil is used vaginally as a spermacide, and men use it orally as a daily contraceptive to induce temporary sterility. Pomegranate is a fruit used by ancient women to prevent conception. Rutin can be used to prevent pregnancy when taken in tablet form in doses of at least 500 mg. Other supplements that have been used to increase or decrease fertility include stinging nettle, oatstraw, pennyroyal, rue, and parsley.
