View allIs it normal to have discharge everyday?
It's your body's way of cleaning and protecting the vagina. Make sure the discharge is not foul smelling or curdy as long as the discharge is clear without odour we have nothing to worry abot.

I'm 41 with regular periods but sometimes get spotting around day 10 or 11. All my blood tests thyroid, prolactin, vitamin B12, CBC are normal, though my HbA1c is 6.1 and I have mild cholesterol. An ultrasound showed polyps, and compared to a scan two years ago, they've grown by 0.9 in size. Do they need to be removed? I'm not sexually active and have a 5-year-old daughter. Could these polyps keep growing, and is surgery necessary? Can I just monitor them for changes? What's the chance they could turn cancerous
gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient

I've noticed over the past year that my right labia minora has swollen and gotten bigger than it usually is. It's not painful, just feels sort of fat and bigger, which makes walking really uncomfortable for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it. Also, I've been getting painful acne on the softer skin in that area. Could this have anything to do with constipation? I'm wondering if there's a way to get it back to its normal size.
Possible Causes of Swollen Labia Minora:* 1. Vulvar edema (fluid retention) 2. Vulvovaginitis (inflammation) 3. Bartholin's gland cyst or abscess 4. Skin conditions (eczema, dermatitis) 5. Infections (yeast, bacterial, or viral) 6. Trauma or injury 7. Hormonal changes 8. Poor hygiene or irritation Restoring Normal Size:* 1. Consult a gynecologist or dermatologist for proper diagnosis. 2. Maintain good hygiene: gentle cleansing, avoid harsh soaps. 3. Wear breathable clothing and avoid tight underwear. 4. Apply cool compresses or warm baths for comfort. Treatment Options:* 1. Antibiotics or antifungals for infections 2. Anti-inflammatory medications 3. Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalance) 4. Surgical removal of cysts or abscesses (if necessary)
