Question 2

what causes cervical mucus in toilet?

Accepted Answer

Discharge: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.

Question 3

Female Fertility: Cervical mucous is a sign that some use to tell when they are more fertile. But, ovulation is in no way dependent on cervical mucous. The process of ovulation occurs in the ovary and not the cervix.

Probably BV: Bv or bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection. It is not sexually transmitted. It causes foul smelling vaginal discharge which is often worse when mixed with blood or semen. See your obgyn for testing. It is treated with antibiotics.

Any color: There is no right or wrong color. It could be anything. There is nothing called "implantation mucus." can you be more specific what you want to know?

Question 6

wbat does yellowish/clear cervical mucus mean?

Accepted Answer

Mucous of the cervix: Cervical can be a nuisance and sometimes gross. It can vary in volume, texture and consistency several times throughout the monthly ovulation cycle. Most of the time, clear cervical mucus is present and it serves several important functions. It helps to keepunwanteds such as germs out of the region of sensitive reproductive organs. And, it also helps to flush away bad stuff like bacteria.

Question 7

i have cervical mucus and odor after sex, why?

Accepted Answer

Semen: The semen  plus vaginal secretions increase odor and mucous.

Question 8

i have no cervical mucus around time of ovulation?

Accepted Answer

No mucus: Obviously this is a concern… since this mucus is driven by estrogen which peaks midcycle i wonder about ovulation. Have you had any surgery done to your cervix-cryosurgery for an abnormal pap smear/cervical dysplasia or a leep procedure? I think a midcycle ultrasound will help elucidate whether or not your ovulating and you can actually see the mucus in the canal by ultrasound at that time.

Question 9

why do i have cervical mucus when i'm not ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Cervical mucus is made in some amount all month long.

Question 10

what does it mean if you have watery cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: Clear watery cervical mucus often means there is plenty of estrogen around - normal around ovulation. There are also other possibilities: if you have burning, itching, irritation, or other symptoms that concern you, a gynecologist can help sort that out for you.
