Discharge During or After S*x?

White discharge is a white fluid that comes out from the va**na or p***s, including during and after s*xual activity.

Some types of discharge are meant to help s*xual in*******se.

For example, cervical mucus cleans and lubricates the va**na. Pe**le fluid, which flows through the same tube as urine, neutralizes leftover acidity so s***m can safely pass.

These fluids are normal. They’re usually clear to milky white.

In other cases, white discharge is caused by an infection. Let’s look at the possible reasons for white discharge during or after s*xual activity.

White va**nal discharge during s*xual in*******se

Vaginal discharge during pe**le-va**nal pe*******on is usually expected.

S*xual arousal

S*xual excitement is a common cause of white discharge. Normally, va**nal discharge is clear or milky white. This fluid cleans, protects, and lubricates the va**na.

When you’re s*xually aroused, the discharge is more noticeable because it thickens and increases. As long as pe*******on isn’t painful, this type of discharge is typical.

Menstrual cycle changes

It’s normal for your va**nal discharge to change throughout your menstrual cycle.

In the beginning and end of your period, it’s typical to have thick white discharge. During ovulation, va**nal discharge is clear and stretchy, like egg white.

If you have s*x during these times, you may notice this type of white discharge. This is expected.

White va**nal discharge after s*xual in*******se

Generally, white va**nal discharge after s*xual in*******se indicates an infection.

Bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an overgrowth of normal va**nal bacteria. It happens when the pH of your va**na is disrupted during s*xual in*******se, douching, or frequent cleaning.

While BV often affects people who are s*xually active, it’s possible to get BV without having s*xual activity.

BV discharge may be off-white or gray. Other possible symptoms include:

fishy odor that gets stronger after in*******se
more discharge than usual
itchiness
burning during urination
Sometimes BV doesn’t cause any symptoms.

BV is treated with antibiotics. It could also go away without treatment, but it’s best to see a doctor if you have it. Untreated BV can increase your risk of s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) and complications during pregnancy.

Yeast infection

A yeast infection occurs when Candida, a normal va**nal fungus, grows too much. It’s also known as va**nal candidiasis.

Yeast infections can spread through va**nal s*x. But like BV, you can develop a yeast infection without having s*xual in*******se.

Typically, yeast infection discharge is thick, white, and looks like cottage cheese. It usually doesn’t have a bad odor.

Additional symptoms include:

burning
redness of the va**na and v***a
painful urination
painful s*xual pe*******on
Treatment includes over-the-counter or prescription antifungal medicine.

S*xually transmitted infection

A s*xually transmitted infection (STI) can cause white va**nal discharge after s*xual activity. STIs are spread through unprotected va**nal, a**l, or oral s*x.

Possible causes and symptoms include:

Chlamydia, which may cause yellow-white discharge, va**nal bleeding between periods, and painful urination. Sometimes chlamydia has no symptoms.
Trichomoniasis, which causes a fishy discharge that may be white, clear, green, or yellow. You might also have itching, redness, burning, and discomfort while urinating.
Gonorrhea, which can be without symptoms. If you have symptoms, you may have white discharge, more discharge than usual, va**nal bleeding between periods, and painful urination.
These STIs are treated with antibiotics. If you have an STI, your recent s*xual partners should be treated too.

White pe**le discharge during and after in*******se

The following causes could explain white discharge from your p***s.

S*xual arousal

S*xual arousal can cause clear to milky white pe**le discharge. This fluid, known as pre-come, is typical.
During ej*******on, the discharge is also white. It’s made of semen and s***m.

White discharge caused by s*xual excitement is the only type of pe**le discharge that’s normal.

Urinary tract infection

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can affect different parts of the urinary tract. This includes the pe**le urethra, which connects the bladder to the p***s.

A UTI in the urethra usually happens when bacteria from the a**s enters the urethra.

This can lead to urethritis, or inflammation of the urethra. Urethritis symptoms include pe**le discharge and burning during urination.

Other symptoms of a UTI include:

frequently passing small amounts of urine
a constant need to urinate
cloudy urine
red or pink (bloody) urine
strong urine smell
UTIs are treated with prescription antibiotics.

Yeast infection

Like va**nal yeast infections, pe**le yeast infections are due to Candida overgrowth. It often happens after having pe**le-va**nal in*******se with someone who has a va**nal yeast infection.

In addition to white discharge, pe**le yeast infections may cause:

inflammation of the p***s head (balanitis)
white patches
itching
burning
red rash
You’re more likely to have balanitis if you are uncircumcised or overweight, or have an impaired immune system.

Treatment includes antifungal creams or ointments.

S*xually transmitted infection

An STI can lead to white pe**le discharge with pain and irritation. STIs are spread through unprotected pe**le, a**l, or oral s*x.

The following STIs may cause white discharge:

Chlamydia. Symptoms of this STI include pe**le discharge and urethritis.
Trichomoniasis. In addition to discharge, trichomoniasis may cause itching and irritation. You may feel burning after ej*******ng or urinating.
Gonorrhea. Discharge may be white, green, or yellow. Additional gonorrhea symptoms include fo****in inflammation and painful urination.
Antibiotics are the first line of treatment for STIs.

How much discharge is average?

Everyone has a different amount of discharge during and after s*xual activity.

If you’re not sure what to expect, consider your normal discharge when you don’t have oral, va**nal, or a**l s*x.

You can expect to have more than this amount during s*xual in*******se.

People with a va**na usually have about one teaspoon of clear to milky white discharge every day. On the other hand, people with a p***s don’t have discharge unless they’re s*xually aroused or ej*******ng. A standard ej*******on is about one teaspoon.

Even then, normal discharge during s*xual activity depends on several factors, including:

your menstrual cycle
s*xual arousal
hormonal changes
birth control
your overall health
va**nal or pe**le infections
If you have an infection, s*xual activity might increase symptoms like discharge and pain. It’s best to get treatment and avoid oral, a**l, and va**nal s*x until your infection gets better.

When to see a doctor

Visit a doctor if your discharge looks or smells different than usual.

White discharge with a yellow, green, or gray tinge is a cause for concern.

You should also seek medical help if you have:

pain during s*xual activities
painful urination
abdominal pain
pelvic pain
itching
burning
rash
sores
Your discharge is probably typical if you don’t have any of these symptoms
