Thongs and bits

[funny?'s]

This is a very embarrassing question and I'm afraid to ask my doc.

When I wear a thong, I get a horrible discharge on the gusset part and it is really stinky.

It's like yellow custard and builds up quite a lot and makes my bit and bobs itchy

It smells of peroxide too.

I know this is disgusting, but it's rally annoying and there's no way I can ask my doctor.

Well if you're too ashamed to go to your doctors, wouldn't the obvious answer be to stop wearing thongs then?

The symptoms are definately that of candida (thrush), although I can't see why it only happens when you wear a thong.

There is very good over the counter medicine to clear it up. You can go for an oral tablet, a pessary or a cream. Canesten is the most popular brand.

I urge you to go to the doctor so he/she can take a swab to send for analysis but if you're really adamant that you don't want to go, then try the over the counter remedy but PLEASE go to the doc if it doesn't clear it, remember yours isn't the first and won't be the last 'bits and bobs' he will have seen.

Why Boo, thanks for the advice. But i did know that.

The thing is, i only wear thongs when im desperate.

It goes on my pants too, but not as bad. I think its cos thongs are in, rather than out if u know what i mean

Well, apart from plucking up the courage to see your GP which would be the most sensible thing to do - I would also suggest wearing panty liners, altho' they'd look a bit odd sticking out of a thong!

I would wear some 'sensible' knickers' not hammocks, but something a little more comfortable - until you've seen the Doc!

funny?'s , I would suggest you either bite the bullet and go to your GP, ( they will have seen it all before ) , or to your local STD clinic who are used to dealing with all manner of discharges . Keep the area clean and dry as you can and try to wear loose clothing , needless to say , you know to stay out of thongs til it clears. Don't be worried to talk to a professional love , go and get it cleared and you will feel heaps brighter .It may be easily treated and needs to be especially as it is odourous . :-)

There are so many nice people on here ready to help you funny's - so I do hope you're serious about your problem & not chuckling away at the very sensible suggestions given so far!

maybe its because your thongs arent cotton? i mean that would explain why you notice it more, than in "big" knickers? jujst go to the docs, you'll be fine, and can then relax:-)
