I have suffered from discharge since i was a teen. I have been seen several times and each doctor has determined i am ok and that i naturally suffer heavy discharge. changes to diet and exercise did nothing. After climaxing durig intercourse i usually have a heavy discharge for several days. i also suffer more during summer months. it is all natural but has scared away mote than one love interest and the stress of wearing light clothing and/or having to change can really affect confidence. if anyone has any tips or advice please pass it along.

This is not the place for this discussion. As a Christian woman, I am appauled at this kind of stuff. They have real doctors who are experts not a columnist. I agree with that other guy that this should not be on a news channel. My 2 cents are to remove this story and all tied into it. It realy sounds like someone needs to revamp this stuff. Well that’s it. Thanks!

Oh Linda get a life. If you were so appalled why didn’t you just move on? This story was a link not a front pager so you obviously either have a discharge problem or fetish.

Linda,
Some women may need to hear this sort of thing on a news site. Not all doctors are going to tell you this stuff. I once went to a dr and he told me that any woman with a discharge has something wrong with her. (which isn’t really true)
It is good to have this sort of discussion out in the open so women can see that they are in fact normal instead of walking around thinking they are diseased or something wrong with them. Especially after going to doctors who are so uninformed about a womans body. I don’t get what your religion has to do with the health care talk of something that can help a woman understand her health and body better. I don’t think anyone forced you to read the article.

Linda,
Christian women have vaginas and discharge too!!!

Linda, so as a Christian woman, you have never had a yeast infection? Never had an abnormal cycle? Sex is a natural thing. Without it, you would not be here. Sorry that you have let your religion blind you to something so essential. You are right about one thing, see your Doctor if you think something is wrong.
Ladies, from a man’s point of view, every woman’s discharge and scent is different. And trust me, we notice when something changes. I can tell when my wife’s period is nearing, she has had spicey food, or something is ‘wrong.’

Dr. Fulbright, I really enjoy your candor, column and advice. Thanks.

I’m a christian woman too, and its the mentality of women like Linda that make the subject so taboo to begin with. If you don’t like it go to what you call “a real doctor’s column” and stop complaining on this one. Some women, like myself, find talking about sexuality very healthy. God created all of our parts, including the reproduction system. There is nothing exploitive about this story. Good grief.

I just saw the spot on male body odor in bars. First my wife has chemical allergies and perfumes. colomes and some deoderants shut her lungs down. If you had ever been to an enviromental allergists o0ffice you would know that you don’t enter the office with artifical scents on.
Second now do a spot on femine “crotch rot”. I know aides in nursing homes that have vomited because of that one. So do us guys a favor and do personal hygine on your selves. You may think your crap does’t stink but it does!!!

LINDA YOU NEED TO REALIAZE THAT SOME PEOPLE FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE SPEAKING TO OTHERS ABOUT HER PROBLEM LIKE OTHER WOMEN.ESPECIALLY YOUNG WOMEN WHO ARE AFRAID THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING WRONG AND AFRAID TO TELL HER MOM..SO GET A LIFE AND START LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD AND IF YOU SEE AN ARTICAL LIKE SEX OR VAGINA CLOSE YOUR EYES AND KEEP GOING SINCE YOUR SUCH A VIRGIN

LINDA: GET A LIFE AND START REALIZING YOU NOT LIVING IN A MATERIAL WORLD WHERE WE DONT USE THE WORD SEX.BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHAT GETS YOUR ATTENTION SINCE YOU READ THE TOPIC AND ENDED UP HERE..

Linda, it’s women like you that give Christian women the reputation of being snooty, self righteous, close-minded, and blindly stupid. Do the rest of us Christian women a favor and keep your ignorant, judgemental mouth shut. Married Christians like to have sex too. Maybe instead of ranting on message boards, you should go give your husband something he hasn’t had since your honeymoon.

Lauren,

That was very Christian of you.

Why are you reading the sexpert section Linda?

Ditto, Laren!
As a Christian woman, we are historically the LAST to get up to date, accurate, information about such things, primarily because of Christian leaders, and now YOU!
If the article offends you, get off the net!!

Linda,

You misunderstand the whole reason for this blog. Note that the name of this blog is “health” not “titilation.”

I came to this article because I care about my woman and know that she is sometimes too shy to tell me if something is wrong. I came to learn what I can to be more sensitive to her needs.

I am a Christian too, and I am moderately sure that everyone that knows me knows I have had sexual intercourse. I have 3 kids, so that fact is hard to keep secret.

Emma, I too suffered like you up until my mid-twenties (I am now 45) when a cousin introduced me to Trichotine Douche Powder. This is the best product your money can buy. In fact, my female OBGYN had not heard of it until I introduced the product to her, she tried it, loved it, thanked me, and has since started recommending it to her patients with discharge problems. It’s difficult to find in drug stores, I have my pharmarcist order for me. Out of courtesy I just googled “Trichotine” and got lots of hits. However, I must tell you from my own experience that once you start using this product, you won’t have any odor, not even your natural scent, but that could be a good thing, at least I think so and everyone I have recommended it to do so as well. Also, there is no need to worry about this product causing drying, I don’t know how they did what they did, but it makes your natural secretion comparable to KY lubrication. Good Luck In Love.

Linda,

I am a Christian woman as well and it is Christians like you that enforce the negative sterotype that many ani-Christians have against us. Hey, I’m a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I’m also a 20 year old woman. I’m horny, I have sexual urges, I have a vagina, I like cute boys. What separates me from most other people my age, is that I have decided to wait to have sex until I am married.

Until that time, I do not want to be ignorant about sex, or about my body. I read that above article because, like any other part of my body, my vagina is part of my body! I want it to be healthy, not for a man, but for me! I want to know the signs of having an unhealthy vagina because I want the body that God gave me to be healthy!

And God created vaginas. They are not a ‘dirty’ or ‘unholy’ thing that many overly prudish Christians think they are. Learn to accept and love the things that God has given you, glorify Him for it, and maybe it will change the negative ideas people have about us. That doesn’t mean going out and having sex everywhere with everything, that’s not caring properly for what God gave us. It’s keeping healthy, remember? It’s all about wisdom dear.

I came to look at the news and found this disgusting column on a news station. Lauren, you call yourself a Christian woman? How about ask a real Dr. about these things. If you were infront of me I would lay hands on you (praying that is) so you would get rid of your nastiness. All I am saying is this is no place for a sex column. Lauren, I bet you believe all ways are right don’t you? Call yourself a Christian. Grow up!

ALL: If this message appears multiple times, I apologize. I don’t see anywhere on the site where it states comments are held in moderation, and mine are not appearing. That said, I’ll attempt it one more time.

Linda, by the way, I enjoy giving my wife oral sex as much as she enjoys receiving it.

Linda,

I’m a Christian male. Grow up, stop judging, stop embarrassing yourself, the faith, and other Christians. Newsflash: Adam and Eve walked around nude and WEREN’T ashamed or prudes. I bet Adam chased Eve naked through the woods too! Probably had a couple of “throw-downs” with her while they were at it too!

Ladies, from a male point of view, healthy discharge is very erotic to me. My wife hates it, but I find it an incredible turn on, as do many men.

Regarding douching, I personally think women are too self-conscious about it. What you ladies call “odor”, we men call “scent.” Men are sexually aroused by a woman’s natural scent, and are chemically attracted to it.

My wife used to be a fanatic about vaginal cleansing and washed her vagina multiple times a day, that is until I pleaded with her and convinced her to stop.

Signed,
A Man who has sex with his wife!

Gerald, you are ignorant and are an embarrassment to real men. Your comment isn’t funny, it’s beyond childish and pathetic. Sadly, you are probably 30 or older. It’s the likes of you that embarrass all men in front of women.

Linda, given that this is an article about vaginas, (something I enjoy immensely) and not religion, this will be my last post on the subject of religion.

You’d lay hands on Lauren if she were in front of you? If you were in front of me, I’d say, “I rebuke you Pharisee in the name of Jesus, get thee behind me Satan!”

Ask Megan to teach you a thing or two about wisdom. The more you speak, the more you display your ignorance and embarrass yourself, and the faith you claim to represent.

I ultimately stopped going to church because of all the plastic-faced Christians who deemed themselves the “judges” of the brethren, and are in fact nothing more than “baby-Christians” who still drink milk, and are the likes of the Galatians that Paul castigated.

If you are are too immature in your faith to discuss vaginas (something I happen to enjoy very much as a married man) then take your ignorant and sanctimonious preaching somewhere else, somewhere others are less (not more) mature than you in their faith.

Lauren, the honeymoon comment was a riot! I was cracking up!

Anywho, it’s off to the store to buy my wife some thigh-high leather boots to wear with her hot “devil” lingerie/outfit….

Signed,

Pharisee Buster

What in your perception is wrong about having a ’sex’ column online? If [from your viewpoint] a subject is soooo taboo (like sex), wouldn’t it make MORE sense - to have the anonymity of the internet to pose such ’sensitive’ topics?

Clearly you can post your disdain anonymously - in the comfort of your home/office (hopefully not the later). Think about the web - its simply a tool for discussion on things many people might not say in a small group - or with their pastor, or even with close friends. Additionally, few doctors are going to discuss sexuality beyond the biological (because of the litigious society we live in).

A column like this is useful to both Christians and secular alike - maybe more so for Christians! If you’re like me and have an internet filter on your computer - putting ‘vaginal discharge’ in Google is going to get blocked because of so many of the raunchy uses of the term. How then do Christians seeking to protect themselves from explicit junk - find quality information still useful to their sexuality?

I’m married with 3 kids. My wife and I have an amazing sex life after 10 years because we don’t ‘hide under the covers’ in shame. God gave us this beautiful expression to become one and we’re going to make the most of it.

A column like this provides healthy and appropriate levels of discussion - without getting perverse. Thank you Fox News.

Thank you Sandra for that advice! I have never heard of that stuff but will give it a shot.

Linda,

Hi, welcome to the internet, you must be new here. allow me to direct you to a more appropriate site: http://www.ChristianNews.on.nimp.org

also, as many of the other commenters on this article have probably realized, arguing with someone on the internet is kind of like arguing with a 4 year old, as all of your carefully worded arguments can be easily ignored.

Linda, do not feel bad by the comments written here, forgive them they are ignorant to the modesty of a true or real woman. Obviously the men posting here must have sincere interest in the “health” of women outside thier “wives” otherwise what reason would any man discuss sexual health of other women? Considering the comments I would say they enjoy these activities so immensely as they are not having these activities. I do understand your feelings and have some of the same myself - we belong in a different era when these issues were truly betwen women and occasionally thier Doctor if you ever told the Doctor. I read the article also as it did catch my eye but then so do horrible car wrecks. I only want Linda to know she is not alone in her feelings, maybe you should all see a real Doctor (not some oversexed bimbo making money on the web) as the problem you are describing is a symptom of many illnesses and diseases. Soap and water works well too…

Linda,

Coming from someone who reads this news SITE (not a channel!) often…I am GLAD too see that they are addressing HEALTH issues! This is not a SEX issue…it is a HEALTH issue as well. It is a column that is focused on sexual health as well. Get over yourself. Maybe you do need to read the column and get the stick out of your rear. Or maybe you just need to get some and maybe then you’d relax and see that we are all just here to read in order to be informed!

Fox News needs to take a hint from Slashdot (www.slashdot.org) and implement a moderator system where people like Linda can be modded down as troll. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet))

And Sandy, thanks for keeping it civil. I’m just curious about the attitude behind your phrase “if you ever told the Doctor.” I believe it’s that attitude that feminists and people more “modern” than yourself rail against. There is a long history of women suffering in silence with such ailments. If you want to be against something be against the sexual revolution that’s already happened. Your really too late though. Don’t rail against healthy conversation.

Oh, and douching is retarded. Any gyno worth going to will tell you that’s a bad idea. Nature did a pretty good job plumbing that area, it doesn’t need help from you…

Linda,
First of all I am twenty years old and thanks to my mom and others being so open with me it has kept me out of a lot of trouble. Christians have sex too if God didn’t want us to have sex he wouldn’t have gave us the parts that he gave us. This is not the 1920’s anymore it’s ok to talk about sex nobody will look down on you or nothing. It’s part of life thats the problem with this world today everybody makes a big deal out of stupid litle stuff!!!

thanks for an entertaining lunch hour!

LINDA HOW DID YOU GET ON TO SEX FROM HEALTHY DISCHARGE? IT IS VERY SAD THAT WOMEN LIKE YOU ARE THE ONES WHO WILL END UP WITH SOME SORT OF FEMININE ILLNESS THAT COULD HAVE AND WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE IF ONLY YOU WOULD OPEN YOUR EYES AND MIND TO HEALTHY AND MUCH NEEDED EDUCATION ON WHAT YOU CALL INAPPROPRIATE DISCUSSIONS. I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR YOU AND HOPE YOU DON’T HAVE A DAUGHTER.
ANYONE WANT TO BET? I SAY HOLY LINDA HAS NEVER HAD AN ORGASIM!!!
IF YOU CARE TO POST YOUR ADDRESS LINDA I WOUD BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU A VIBRATOR ON THE DOWN LOW SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY MISSING IN LIFE.

Linda,

Judge lest ye be judged. There is but one Judge and you are not He! I have my beliefs too but I don’t push them on to other people. You only “believe” that your opinions are right and that everyone else under the sun should believe as you do. This is extremely dangerous. Organized religion is rife with issues with power and control. “Our way is right and all others are wrong”…

Look at how trying to resist one of our most powerful natural drives by being celibate has manifested itself in an extremely unhealthy way. Yes I’m talking about the plague of molestation charges against Catholic Priests…

I had to get rid of the god I had from my days in organized religion and found a God that is loving and forgiving. A God that gave us this beautiful thing called sex. The topic was on a biological function and other than the body part that it pertains too was really not sexual. If the question was “I had a cut that is healing very slowly. There is a discharge and draining. Is that normal”… It’s a health issue.

I know this won’t influence you at all because your mind is closed and you seem content to be blind but I feel better having written it.

Thank God for free speech!

Linda, if you don’t like what you read, don’t read it, it is not for you. Stop telling other people what do and not to do! Unless you are GOD!

Wow!

Sandy,

There’s an old proverb that says, “better to remain silent and look like a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Your ignorance, jealousy and arrogance shine through in your post. This is 2008 Sandy, many men have an interest in women’s health that rise to a higher level than that of a fetish.

You said, “you should all see a real Doctor (not some oversexed bimbo making money on the web), I say you are rude, inconsiderate and obnoxious. Sounds to me like you are a bit jealous of the good doctors looks and success.

If you have a husband, please pass my sympathies on to him.
