Hello,
Ever since I first started puberty (in 4th grade) I've had a constant flow of fluid from my vagina. It's usually clear and scentless, but it's also very annoying. I've been wearing panty liners since elementary school, and I usually go through 3 to 4 a day. If I don't wear anything, there is enough fluid to leave a damp spot on my pants. I hate having to wear these as I'm always soggy, and if I can't change them fast enough it really does a number on my skin. I think it makes me more prone to yeast infections, but I'm not sure. My skin is also so conditioned to being damp that if I wear something without pantyliners (say a bathing suit for example) I get terribly dry and chaffed skin, and you can imagine how uncomfortable that gets. I'm 20 now and have been dealing with this for over a decade, but I've always wondered if it was normal. I did mention it to a doctor once and he said it was no big deal, but I didn't quite explain how much fluid there was. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any way to get rid of it?
Also, I have found small tampons to be extremely helpful in this issue, but I don't know if it's safe to be using them when I'm off my period. Any advice on that?
Thanks in advance! :D
