Is Milky Vaginal Discharge After HCG Injections Something Hormone Related And A Cause For Concern?

Hello, I ve been taking HCG injections for weightloss, injecting 20IU/day. Recently, I ve been experiencing milky off-white discharge. Is this normal with the additional increase in hormones? Should I be concerned? Not itchy and slight awareness of the area.

Hi,

The whitish discharge, that you seem to be concerned about seems to be the normal, natural physiological vaginal discharge, and you need not be worried. Normal Vaginal discharge is white or off-white and not smelly, it should not cause any discomfort like itching or burning. This inference is based on considering that , there is no foul smell and you don't have any symptoms of itching, redness, ulcers, blisters, rashes, etc.

Yes, the vaginal discharge being normal , the quantity of the discharge can vary with menstrual cycle phases which in turn is under the influence of various hormones. Use of hormones like HCG (Natural form of this hormone is increased during pregnancy) can increase the normal vaginal discharge, as you have been experiencing currently.

But, as explained, there is no reason to be concerned or worried. But in case you notice any unusual changes or symptoms like itching, pain, or foul odor, as these could indicate an infection, and it would be recommended to see a health care professional for proper medical management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
