vaginal discharge in urine?

[xcrypticsugarx.livejournal.com]

I have noticed for a couple of months that in my urine I see a clump or two of white discharge. If I remeber its only certain days and ita not all day. Im wondering if its vaginal diacharge and if its normal. Im going to see my gyno next week and I'll mention it to her. I dont have any pains or fevers or anything.

It is completely normal. Discharge is your body's way of cleaning out the vagina. And at certain times in your cycle it tends to happen more than others. As long as it doesn't itch you should be fine.

Gravity. Pure and simple. Your vagina doesn't have sphincters holding it closed like your urethra and anus do. Think of those two as squeezy bottles of ketchup, what happens if you just tip them upside down without squeezing? Nothing. Your vagina is more like a glass of milk. What happens when you tip that glass upside down? Exactly!

Also, occasionally you will pass old clumps of cells from your urethra, they're shed from the lining of your bladder and urethra as they're replaced by new cells. Also totally normal!

Hah, I LOVE that analogy.

Thank you! I was pretty chuffed with it myself. I was inspired by the sauce bottle on top of the fridge, haha.

The muscles down there kind of all work together, so if you're bearing down to pee or poop, you can definitely squeeze a little extra out of your vagina. A lot of people find they have more discharge in the middle of their cycles, around the time of ovulation, but discharge is normal any time of month, even if you don't ovulate at all.
