Infection? STD?: Depending on your age, sexual exposures, and other factors, "creamy" vaginal discharge often indicates infection, including STDs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomonas. If also strong vaginal odor, maybe bacterial vaginosis. Any new, unexplained, or abnormal vaginal discharge should be professionally evaluated, so see your doctor soon. Good luck!

A 35-year-old member asked:
Just started birth control again. There is clearish fluid discharging from breasts. What could it be?

Probably nothing: Birth control pills are known to cause hormonal resets in a woman's body. Breast is hormone regulated organ, so that is no surprise you are reacting the way you are. Chances are with the next cycle you may not have any, although, i did have patients who were lactating all along. In that case, i'd check prolactin level and rule out other causes for lactation.

Circular muscle: The lining of the vagina(epithelium) is surrounded by circular muscle that can contract around objects and a potential space that can expand as well. Expansion projects include childbirth, sex and tampon placement.
