Good for you for going to the doctor ! Nothing I say should take the place of the doctor at all . Something I didn ' t learn until I was in my 20 ' s was that some discharge is completely normal . I too self treated with special washes , OTC yeast infection treatments for the spongy white stuff . Some women have almost no discharge except for around their periods , others have it all month . It can also change in texturesmell . My doctor told me it was cervical mucus discharge and completely normal . Once I stopped treating what I thought was some sort of infection , the occasional pain and itching went away . If you ' re brave , google cervical mucus discharge , people have helpfully posted pictures of the different kinds shudder . Maybe this is what you ' re experiencing too , maybe not doctor knows best .
