Vaginal Discharge Is It Normal?

"Vaginal discharge and cervical mucous sort of act like the oil between gears in a machine, keeping the vagina working properly, the normal pH balance of bacteria in a good place, and helping lubricate during intercourse," Basically, vaginal discharge keeps your vagina happy and healthy.

However, if you suddenly notice a lot more vaginal discharge in your underwear, it's a sign that something might be going on down there. Exactly what that is might be as benign as your monthly cycle, having recently given birth, or undergoing some form of hormonal therapy, Or it could be more problematic-for example, vaginal and yeast infections can lead to a sudden uptick in vaginal discharge. Generally, thick, white vaginal discharge with a cottage-cheese-like texture or fishy smell is a sign that you want to visit your gyno just to be safe.

To help prevent vaginal and yeast infections,  "absolutely no douching or placing antibacterial soaps in the vagina." Remember, a happy vagina depends on plenty of healthy bacteria in the vagina, and flushing out or killing that bacteria can allow bacterial intruders to make their way in. Taking a daily probiotic can also help to keep those healthy bacteria levels up. "Maintaining a well-balanced diet and showering immediately after sex and that sweaty spin class can also help." If you feel the need to use soap down there, use a gentle formula like Sliquid Organics Splash Balance Gentle Feminine Wash from the Women's Health Boutique.

The country star, who will perform with the "All About That Bass" singer at the Country Music Awards, said she has yet to meet the newcomer with the year's biggest hit. "I've not met Meghan yet, but we've been texting back and forth," Lambert said in an interview Monday in Nashville, Tennessee, where the CMAs will be held Wednesday. "We've listened to 'All About That Bass' probably about a thousand times this summer on the tour, so I already know it, obviously." "Bass" is spending its eighth week on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Trainor, who released an EP this year, will drop a full-length album in January and launch a tour a month later.

boys buried in snow pile heard rescuers calling

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two boys trapped in a snow pile for about seven hours after a plow buried them could hear their worried family's cries but couldn't respond loudly enough to be heard, they said Friday. Police credited an air pocket with saving their lives. The two cousins, 11-year-old Elijah Martinez and 9-year-old Jason Rivera, were building a snow fort Wednesday night across the street from Elijah's apartment in Newburgh when a plow operator clearing a parking lot unknowingly pushed snow over them. Buried in about 5 feet of snow, they could barely move and couldn't breathe very well, so they could do nothing as they heard the anguished cries nearby. Jason lost his gloves. His hat flew off. They relied on each other to stay alive, they said, sharing Elijah's face mask to try and keep their hands warm and talking to each other so they wouldn't fall asleep. "I felt so tired. It didn't feel real that they were coming to get u...
