His and Her Health

Does anyone here diagnosed with vulvar vestibulitis get a strange discharge too? Mine's (sorry to be so descriptive) yellowish to even slightly greenish at times, but mostly just very thick. It's not constant either, some days I have it but mostly I don't. I've complained of this to doctors before, and they took cultures which found nothing out of the ordianary (eg. yeast infection or bacterial infection). I know there are Bartho-something glands arounf the vestibule (or ARE the vestibule?) which are involved with lubrication. Could VV and this discharge be connected?

yellow sticky discharge can be desquamative inflammatory vaginitis and can give a secondary vestibulitis.

I have a discharge every single freakin' day. Its so bad that I often have to changed my undies. It is the exact same as yours. I've had many the cultures as well and no infections and no cure.

I have the same problem. I have to carry extra undies in the side pocket of my purse.

My cultures come back normal, though. I used to wear tampons sometimes (if I knew I wouldn't be somewhere I could change undies) but then my Dr. told me that it isn't healthy doing that, so I quit that habit.

It sometimes comes out in blobs. It's annoying.

Me too. Lots of it. I have been to gynos who have said, "Yes, you have a lot of discharge" but couldn't come up with a reason why. Every culture always comes back negative. But I do finally have a diagnosis for VV, so I was wondering if the discharge could be related to that. Mine isn't yellow green. It's clear-white and clumpy. I have to run to the bathroom when very large discharge amounts hit. Occasionally, if there is not a bathroom nearby, I sometimes wind up looking like I wet my pant--it's that much discharge.

I also have vestibulitis and the same discharge issue. Yellow/yellow green. Whether I have a yeast infection or not. Not a ton, but it's constant. THe doctor did a culture and said I had a few atrophic cells and not many White blood cells, so if I have desquamative inflammatory vaginitis it's a mild case. They have me on a standard intial vestibulitis treatment program for 3 months--lidocaine, estrogen/testosterone cream for thin skin/tissue, no BCPs, and PT for tight muscles. The they will do another culture sample again in 3 months and treat the DIV if it still looks like it's a possible factor.

OMG...For the longest time I thought I was the only woman out there with the nasty thick yellowish/greening discharge. My Dr's have done cultures too and they always come back negative. Thank God for this forum! I thought I was crazy.
