What's the white stuff?

Question

Ok everybody this is for my friend again (the 18 year old). Ok so she told me that sometimes she has a white substance coming out of her vagina...and I've heard once that this guy was having sex with a girl and when he pulled put he had white suff on his penis and they figured out that the white stuff was the sperm from the last guy the girl had sex with...so I don't know if that could happen but I suggested maybe that's what's going on with her because it started coming out after the last time she had sex. But if it isn't possible for the white stuff to be the sperm from her boyfriend then someone please tell me and also tell me what do you think it could be because she doesn't think its a yeast infection or anything like that...but I don't know.

I don't know what you are talking about with this semen-left-over-from-previous-sex-partner stuff, unless we're talking about a gang bang. Otherwise, that is out of the question. Yes, sperm can stay alive in the vagina for up to 5 days...but you wouldn't be noticing amounts of semen all collected in there, unless the second guy has "entered" immediately after the first. Is this a real question even? Who thinks semen...well, whatever.

Anyway, to your question: a white substance could be normal discharge, a mild yeast infection (which means itchiness might not be too noticeable), a mild bacterial infection, or symptoms of an STD such as Chlamydia. Will you PLEASE listen to me when I advise that you or your girlfriend (or both!) make appointments with a gynecologist? Please? The Internet is no place for young girls to be self-diagnosing or accepting "facts" from random strangers. Most people on this site seem to have the best intentions...but the truth is, that when it comes to sexuality, a lot of people are still out there spreading myths and they don't know any better. There is absolutely no shame in talking honestly with your Doctor! If you schedule an appointment with a female one, I'm sure it can help you feel more comfortable. I am serious, your friend could easily have an STD and I'm sure you know that isn't a joke-even though a lot are easy to treat, you do need to be responsible and have regular check-ups once you've started having sex. If you are mature enough to get laid, you're mature enough to face a Doctor. Chlamydia itself is SO common it is unnerving...but all you need is antibiotics and you'll be fine.

Again, this discharge could also be normal and I don't mean to panic you girls. But I'm telling you, if I was between new sex partners and noticed such, I would make a quick appointment for and STD screening just to be safe. And I've been sexually active for 10 years now. It isn't about being paranoid, it's about being safe and responsible. All women are different and show different side-effects...you need to get with a gynecologist and start becoming familiar with facts and your body.

unless she had just had sex earlier that day, that was not sperm.  however it is normal, its just discharge.

It was probably just regular discharge.  If she had just had sex, then it would be the guy's cum.

it happens with my girlfriend sometimes, ur vagina is a self cleaning thing and the white stuff is like the stuff it uses to clean its self. she found out  because she wondered what it was too. so don't worry . k
