From the Murky Depths – Are Pain Killers Causing Your Vaginal Discharge?

Vaginal discharge can kill your self-confidence and inhibit your desire to have sex. A certain amount of discharge is normal, especially in young, healthy women, but excess discharge can be problematic, especially if it seems uncontrollable or bears a pungent odor. So what's going on here? You've ruled out sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy and ovulation. But there's one issue that you may not have considered: pain medications.

That's right. You take the meds so you can feel better, but then you look between your legs and feel miserable for a completely different reasons. But isn't that how it goes with pharmaceuticals? Your diarrhea medication leaves you constipated; your headache medicine gives you a stomachache; and your sleep aids cause you to have nightmares about knife-wielding clowns. It seems like there's just no way to win. But the important question here is why? As in, why might your pain medication be causing you to experience vaginal discharge in the first place?

Why Your Meds Are Ruining Your Vagina

According to a report MedLine Plus, certain medications can lead to abnormal vaginal discharge. Birth control pills certainly fit the bill and so do certain pain medications. The problem is that these medications can lead to an excess of progesterone and estrogen, which cause moisture to build inside the vagina, cervix and uterus. Your pain may be diminishing, but your problems are only just beginning. The obvious solution requires you to wean off the meds and to find out if the symptoms subside, but if you're suffering from legitimate physical trauma (say, a recent surgery), it may not be so easy to toss the meds in the trash.

If left untreated, the problem may get worse. Excess discharge may seem harmless at first, and in some cases is even normal, but if it persists, a little moisture can evolve into a full-fledged fungal infection. At this point, the problem has upgraded itself from “slightly annoying” to “terribly unpleasant.” It may even be physically painful. If you have already reached this threshold, or if you fear that you're nearing it, there's good news.

Treating the Problem

Fortunately, there are natural herbal solutions that can offset the effects of pain medications and other common discharge factors. Herbs like Phellodendron and Dong Quai have been shown to restore hormones, normalize excess estrogen and treat fungal infections impacting the reproductive system. So whether you just have overactive plumbing, or a full-fledged mushroom farm growing between your legs, you can take control of the situation in a discreet, easy and pain-free manner.

When it comes to vaginal discharge, though, you'll also want to adopt healthy habits (if you haven't done so already). For instance, MedLine Plus advises against douching altogether because it can contribute to abnormal discharge. Not only that, but douching can cause infections, increase the likelihood of STD transmission, and even raise your risk of developing cervical cancer. So you're going to want to avoid douching as though your life depended on it.

Additionally, make sure to always practice safe sex, keep your genital area dry and clean at all times, eat yogurt with live cultures, and avoid vaginal sprays and fragrances. Even if you suspect that pain medications are causing the problem, your personal habits can certainly exacerbate it. With a bit of herbal TLC, and a few minor lifestyle adjustments, you should be able to get the problem under control on your own.
