too much vaginal discharge

Every day I notice a large amount of discharge in my knickers. When I go to the toilet there is always a lot of discharge on the toilet paper and this increases even more so after sex. When I have sex I ejaculate large amounts as well. Is this normal? Do women just vary on the amounts or could something be wrong with me?

Re: too much vaginal discharge

There is a huge variation in the amount of secretions and mucus produced by the vagina and cervix, and in how much is produced during and after sex. If the amount on a daily basis is troublesome, then see your doctor. Swabs can be taken to check for infection, and the cervix can be looked at. Sometimes excess mucus is produced from an ectropion (an area on the otside of the cervix which is a variation of normal) which can be treated.

Re: too much vaginal discharge

When you say troublesome do you mean annoying me or do you mean if it's itchy, discoloured etc. I've had this for years so I doubt it's an infection

If it's itchy, discoloured or just annoying then worth being seen.
