Question 1

is thick white mucus vaginal discharge good after plan b?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal Discharge: This is most likely semen mixed with vaginal fluids.  It does not represent anything specific about pregnancy or lack of pregnancy.

Question 2

i have a green vaginal mucus that is very thick but no odor. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Green vaginal mucous is generally caused by an infection. This may be vaginal or may be cervical but you need to be seen for an exam and testing in order to find out what kind of infection you have and get it treated. The sooner you are treated the less risk of complications. Hope this helps.

Question 3

is a clear thick mucus like vaginal discharge normal?

Accepted Answer

Most likely yes: Clear thick mucus-like discharge is typical of ovulatory mucous.  People often describe it as looking like egg white.  That said, if your discharge has a funny odor, you have any itching or pain, or you could have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection, then you should get checked out.

Question 4

slimy, thick, pinkish tinted mucus vaginal discharge a few days. why?

Accepted Answer

Vaginitis: Could be several things. Bacterial vaginosis is most likely, especially if it has an odor. Would need more info...Are you on a birth control pill, hormones, when was your last menstrual period, etc.

Question 5

hi i just passed a thick grey mucus with little red clumps vaginally, its like rubbery and it has a weird smell. do you know what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Possible Fibrin clot: You may have passed a old blood clot. See a gynecologist as soon as you can to rule out other causes.

Question 6

what may be causing a yellow thick mucus looking type vaginal discharge but no odor and no other symptoms?

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 7

hello docs. i was wondering can thick brown vaginal mucus be caused by nexplanon birth control?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nexplanon and all progestin methods of birth control prevent pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucus, preventing entry of sperm. It makes complete sense that cervical mucus would change after getting explaining placed. You only need to worry if there is a odor associated with your discharge or symptoms like pain.

Question 8

should i be worried about vaginal discharge? i had a c-section on march 5. in the last few days i've noticed a difference in discharge. it's yellow, thick and has a mucus-like consistency.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal : Vaginal discharge can vary depending on where you are in your cycle. If you have vaginal odor, pain, or irritation, then you may be dealing with an infectious process (bacteria or yeast). If any of these signs are present please consult your doctor.
Take care.

Question 9

how can i distinguish btwn mucus & parasitic worms? i pulled out 2 yellow/brown stringy (like thick vaginal mucus) things from my anus after bowel mvt

Accepted Answer

Worms: Are usually whitish, although they can be stained by fecal matter. You could take them to your doctor for analysis if you saved them. If you are passing mucous, you still may need to be evaluated for a bowel disorder. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 10

irregular periods, thick dark brown vaginal discharge, followed by bright red mucus-like discharge, then dark brown again for 4 days now. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: Dark brown discharge is just old blood. The first thing to rule out is always pregnancy. If that's negative then you probably have a hormone imbalance making your periods irregular.
