Vaginal discharge or leukorrhea occurs through the menstrual cycle and is usually white before & after the period. Discharge may start out as thin liquid before the time of ovulation. During ovulation, the discharge thickens and becomes mucus like. After ovulation, i.e., in second half of the cycle, discharge increases usually.

I have a 9.6x9.8x9 cm posterior intramural fibroid but my menstrual cycle is normal at 28-30 days with no heavy bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. We're trying to conceive and all other pregnancy-related tests came back normal. Should I consider surgery before trying to get pregnant, or is it safe to attempt conception first and opt for surgery later if needed? I'm worried about how the fibroid might affect my uterus for pregnancy.

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been dealing with severe itching around my penny line and the lips of my vagina for a while now. I've already been treated for infections like fungal and bacterial, and all my urine and swab tests came back clear, but the itching just won't go away. There's no sign of lesions, just some redness after I scratch. When I do itch, it feels like I've got tons of little cuts and burns until I put some oil or cold water on it. Any idea what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called **vulvar dermatitis**, which can cause itching, redness, and irritation without visible lesions. Since infections have been ruled out, it could be due to an allergic reaction, skin sensitivity, or even friction. I recommend following up with a dermatologist or gynecologist for a more thorough examination and to explore treatment options such as soothing creams or anti-inflammatory medications.
