A member asked:

Thick white cream discharge and late periods, had the flu not long ago and still recovering could it have prolonged my periods and caused infection?

Influenza: It is certainly possible that the influenza may have altered your normal menstrual cycle but very unlikely that it produced a vaginal infection unless you were taking antibiotics and developed secondary yeast infection as a result. Good luck.

Vaginal 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.
