for a few days after my boyfriend and i have sex, i have a discharge that flows nonstop.
well, first of all, i always have a discharge flowing out of me. it's so bad that i always have to wear a pad. after sex though, it gets a smell. it is a bad smell and other s can spell it. i've talked to my doctor about the discharge and she has given me medicine for a yeast infection but i always have the discharge. is it possible to always have a yeast infection and should i be putting cream on all the time? i am getting so agrivated. i have to change the pad a few times a day and it's getting to the point that i hate to go out in public because of the smell. what should i do?

Is your doctor a gynecologist? If not, then you should see one. Did she test you to be sure it's a yeast infection, not a bacterial infection, or some other kind of infection? Constant discharge to the point you have to wear a pad isn't "normal" for most women.

If it's some other kind of infection, the yeast medication won't help it.

The odor is probably from his semen mixed with your discharge.....but that shouldn't be for more than a few hours. Just as a test, have him use a condom, and see if it still has such a strong odor.

See your doctor, or another doctor again.

PS: If it is a yeast infection, or another kind of infection.......your partner should be treated, too. It's very possible you gave it to him (or he gave it to you), and if you're cured, he will give it right back to you. If you have any kind of vaginal infection, your partner should be treated!

I agree with Dakine, have you seen an ob/gyn and did she test you to see exactly what is going on.
