GRAPHIC PHOTO OF DISCHARGE hello! i've had itchiness and varying discharge going on for months, i am sexually active. right now i have thick, pasty and chunky white discharge that is tinted pinkish brown due to me ovulating i believe. it smells pretty normal, maybe a little musty. at first i thought i was suffering from a yeast infection, but pretty much every month a few days after the end of my period, i sometimes get a very bad, fishy/rotten smell with whitish milky discharge. i would love to hear ideas on what it could be? i am about to start on Flagyll for BV but its also suspected to be an STD but im having a hard time believing that since all my partners have been clean to my knowledge. thanks in advance

    I've had BV and it looked nothing like that. I've never had a yeast infection so don't know what that looks like but is my guess that is what you have. as for your partners, sorry but don't be so trusting. I know this grim experience sadly. as for flagyl it's a great treatment. I swear by it. hope it helps you the way it helped me

      i tested negative for any STD's and i think the panel tested for BV as well but im not sure but the whole thing was negative, im going to stay on the flagyl and see how it goes.
