Excessive Vaginal Wetness

[creativexangst.livejournal.com]

I'm on Prozac (20mg, just bumped to 40mg today), and I started to grow my hair back in after shaving for 6 years, however, its only a week's growth, but I just cant think of what else can be causing this. I'm excessively wet. This has been going on for about a week and a half now. I'm not currently sexually active, so Im not sure how this will eventually affect me, but its to the point that I soak through underwear after an hour, I'm ALWAYS wet, nothing I do seems to help, and I'm at a total loss! Its causing me to have to do laundry twice as often, because I cant wear my jeans more then twice before there's a very distinctive odor-and thats if I wear them for 2 hours, change, and wear them the next day that its a problem. Any ideas whats going on? Any help you can offer me? Thanks!

Thanks! Im positive its not sweat, but I havnt had any accompanying systems of BV-because that was my first thought. However, I made an appointment for next week, I was just hoping I could be enlightened before then. Thanks again!

I know that when I stopped shaving the hair sort of... caught things, I guess? So that wetness was more noticable. Could that be potentially part of the issue? Also, it may be that the sensation of hair is somewhat stimulating. I'm just tossing out ideas here.

I'm pretty much like this on a daily basis. I couldn't tell you what caused it, but ~5 years ago I just started leaking like a freaking sieve, especially when I'm ovulating. It's really obnoxious, but I've been told that some girls are just wetter than others...one of my gal pals is the same way.

One of these days I'll remember to ask my gyno, it always slips my mind when I go. I pretty much wear pantiliners everyday and change it every few hours. Night-time I just deal with having to wash/change my PJ's every couple of days because my poor girly parts desperately need the time to breathe.

No idea, but I'm the same way. It's such a pain. I just use a pantyliner whenever it's extra heavy.

I've been like this since puberty - it's a pain.
In my experience the smallest things can make the degree of my wetness more severe or prevent me from running out of clean pants as quickly as I usually do.
It doesn't sound like you're unhealthily wet, though I soak through clothing very quickly and I always have. However, it sounds like it's severe for you, so you might want to go to the doctor to see if you've got a yeast infection or something similar.

Otherwise, have you made any lifestyle changes? Stress can do funny things, as can diet. Another superstar suggested that the sensation of the hair is causing it - it could be stimulating you slightly and making your girlparts start a party. You could try shaving and seeing if that helps, or wait until the hair has fully grown to see if the effect lessens with time.

In the meantime, you could try using pads to prevent you going through clothing so quickly. Cloth would probably be best, but if you don't have any chafing or discomfort from disposable ones, you could use those, too. I often use disposable pads when I go out, just to save myself the hassle of having to wash my good clothing as often.

how often are you washing down there?

i saw a girl with your same issue on tv a while back (show was called embarrassing illnesses, or something?) and the tv doc said that since she washed so often down there, she was drying herself out and her body was making ten billion times more discharge to counterbalance it.
