I'm not a doctor, but I am one of those women who seems to have a lot of discharge and I agree that it can be annoying. More than likely, this is normal discharge for you.

Do you notice a difference in consistency in the discharge throughout the month? As long as it is not irritating (as in causing physical discomfort) or oddly colored (green, yellow, gray) or textured (having clumps), you are probably fine.

My observation has been that pantiliners seem to keep the area moist, rather than absorb liquid. Bathing often can go a long way to helping you feel better. It also helps to know that this *is* normal. You may send me email, if you wish. At Fri, 26 Feb 1999, Pamela wrote: >
