Worried about discharge

[Katieeee]

Hello. I’m still waiting on my smear test result (6 weeks down the line now!) but I have lots of clear discharge. I have been swabbed every single month since January and every time it’s come back with thrush, but I’m still concerned. I AM a little itchy and I DO get a little swollen down there which is very in line with the swab results, but my discharge isn’t typical thrush type. It’s clear (does smell yeast like though!) but there is loads and it comes out in gushes a few times a day. It’s super horrible.

Has anyone experienced that with thrush? I can’t find anything online about the gushing. I’m worried that this is something more hence my anxiety over the smear result.

Because the thrush is showing up every time, I’m on long term fluconazole treatment but so far no difference!

The discharge doesn’t smell horrible, just yeast like, and it’s clear, not pink or brown.

Hi there Katie,

Thank you for your message.

It sounds like you are having a miserable time .

Can we suggest that you get your GP to chase your smear results for you to reduce the worry !

In addition if the fluconazole isn’t effective then perhaps ask your GP if there any alternatives . It might also be worth looking at your diet , some people have found massive relief from changing their diet , perhaps ask your GP for a referral to a dietician ?

Wishing you well,

The Ask Eve Team

Thank you!

I have chased numerous times. They say the smear test labs are swamped and are literally processing them in order of date received and won’t process any ladies by name, outside of the queue they’re in. Ive never waited so long in previous years but I’m hearing the same frustrations across the board!

My swabs always come up as thrush, but I just don’t like the volume! I have returned to GP and they have faxed a consultant gynae to see if I can take anything else but I’m yet to hear!
