What Is This Kind Of Discharge
Learn about some common symptoms the pill can bring on, and how to prevent them.
Case #: 1477
Concern：
I have noticed recently that I have a thick, sticky, white discharge. There is no odor from it, and I have been to the doctors but they didn't give me a straight answer. I also experience pelvic pain every now and then. I have been suffering through this for over a month now. Do you have any suggestions or input that would help me?
Discussion：
When a woman begins taking birth control, her body may need some time to adjust to the new high levels of hormones that it is inundated with. The way birth control works is by flooding the brain with synthetic estrogen and progesterone. When the mind gets a rush of these hormones, it begins to believe that you are actually pregnant. Once the brain is completely under the impression that you are in fact with child it will send a message to cut off the ovarian function.
Too Much Discharging
Because the brain is a complex muscle that takes a lot of convincing, it takes a lot of estrogen and progesterone to do that convincing. Chances are, your liver is in no way used to the new amount of hormones that it is now taking on. It isn't able to keep up with these new demands.
The high levels of estrogen are what's most likely causing such a heavy amount of discharge. Many women will experience this and other minor symptoms, including some pelvic pains during the duration of long term birth control usage.
No Pills For You
On the off chance that you do not take birth control pills, you should definitely make an appointment with your OBGYN and talk to them about your current situation. Though you are not suffering from any foul odor at the moment, there is a possibility that the thick white discharge is really rooted in a yeast infection. If this is the case, you will be able to reverse the effects of the infection, but you will have to act fast and aggressively.
How To Fix It
In order to make the creamy whit discharge dissipate, you will have to start helping out your liver in the cleansing department. You can easily start doing this by changing up your diet a little. Eating fruits and veggies instead of fatty foods, red meat, and dairy can help out a lot. Not only will your liver function better, but you will also gain some higher energy levels as well. I would also suggest drinking a minimum of six glasses of water each day. The water will help your liver to flush out any left over buildup of toxins.
I would also recommend utilizing herbal remedies that include ingredients like Mexican Wild Yam, Safflower, Fo Ti, Muira Puama, and Ligustrum. (TRY: Natural Formula for Vaginal Detox & Infection Relief) These herbs will help to speed up the detoxification process by restoring fatty and amino acids. These essential acids will promote better vaginal health by replenishing micro-flora.
