A member asked:

Been a little more than a week since my last period and i'm having a slightly thick white discharge. as the days go by it seems to get less.any ideas?

Yeast?: Candida (yeast) is a common inhabitant of the normal vagina. There are times when treatment becomes necessary - ie. if large amounts or persistent itching and burning occurs. Sounds like this is resolving on its own. Good Luck.
