- The Urgent Memo: “We may have an unwelcome visitor.”
- What it is: This type of discharge, especially if it’s abundant and has a foul odor, can be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like Trichomoniasis. It is often accompanied by itching, burning, and discomfort when urinating. This is a memo that requires immediate attention and a conversation with your partner.
- The “Investigate This” Memo: “There’s old blood present.”
- What it is: This can be benign, like leftover tissue from your last period (called “old blood”). However, if it happens frequently between periods or after menopause, it is a crucial message from your body that should not be ignored. It can be a sign of hormonal fluctuations, cervical polyps, or in rarer cases, something that needs more significant investigation.
