watery discharge during period...
...among other symptoms:
for the past year my periods have been ridiculously heavy, often bleeding through tampon, pad and clothing in under two hours.
i also have a watery discharge during my period. it is clear and odorless. even if there is very little blood on my tampon, it soaks through and leaks through my pad and clothing as well.
recently, i have been having less liquid blood and more clots, with a lot of the watery discharge. i have three solid days of going through both a tampon and pad within an hour.
i also have severe backache and cramping, and just generally feel ill, which i realize could be just normal period stuff.
however, over the last two years i have become increasingly aware of this awful stabbing pain that i get in my pelvic region. i will just be sitting down and it will come on so suddenly and harshly it makes me jump and cry out. the initial stabbing sensation is usualy brief, then a dull ache sometimes continues.
i've also struggled with constipation for about 6 years. i know lots of females do though. when i am able to relieve myself, it is diahrrea. i eat a TON of fiber and drink lots of water.
i'm 24, athletic, otherwise healthy, and eat organically.
here's the clincher:
i'm not sexually active, nor have i ever been.
doctors rarely believe me, and thus make getting real medical advice difficult.

i'm having trouble getting pregnant too i got pregnant once had a miscarriage and since after never got pregnant again ,now after my period i realize i had this watery discharge its bothering me too it kinda smell funny not bad but it have a scent my period came for like 2weeks it was slow for the first week and late in the second week i had clots i'm hating this but i see alot of people here have this problem i'm 22yrs old now my period is over i keep getting this cramping feeling in my right leg it feels kinda weak please help someone tell me what is this.
I too have the watery discharge. Mine is usually only enough to lightly fill a panty liner and it is only during my period. To respond to earlier concerns. I believe the liquid is the same liquid that occurs when a female (squirting) orgasm occurs. I'm thinking this since it bypasses the tampon...so i'm assuming the liquid is coming from the same hole that disperses urine, but just not from the bladder. If I am correct, it is unknown where the love juice comes from, only that it contains a veeeeery slight amount of urine.
I have only ever had this liquid discharge since I have been on the Nuvaring, so I can only guess that it has something to do with either the ring touching something or the specific hormones of the ring. However, my latest Pap test did come back positive, so if my next pap is +ve i'm going to have some things looked at. Otherwise, I'm not too concerned about the liquid since it seems to be natural (like an orgasm)...without all the pleasure ;)

Sorry- that comment button is very sensitive!
I was saying, my friend's thyroid was out of wack and after beginning a natural course of treatment, has been healthy ever since without having to continue taking pills.
I have a brother who is a vegan and he also talks about the dangers of extra hormones in foods. I love milk. What will I do without milk? :)
My gyno also suggested looking into a more plant based diet. We'll see how this goes. I have a love affair with chicken.
I have been reading so many blogs and medical sites that talk about certain cancers associated with my symptoms: heavy bleeding, watery or yellow discharge, fatigue, dizziness, lower back & abdominal pain. They are all signs of cancer. No matter how many gynos I see (including the ER docs and my general phys) they all seem to be certain that it isn't cancer. I have that little voice inside telling me to push harder. But maybe it's just me not wanting to look back with the "what ifs". What if I had found it earlier? What if I had pushed harder or gone to yet another doctor? I was starting to think that I was paranoid until I found this page tonight. Thank you ladies for taking the time to post your comments. Good luck everybody!

Oops, accidentally hit the comment button.
The Mirena has been in it's new home for a few days now. I will let you all know how this goes.
It's the heavy bleeding that worries me the most. This last month, I had tone taken to the ER three times! I am so very tired, dizzy and out of breath. My heart starts beating fast and hard and I can't catch my breath. The ER docs said this is a panic attack along with anemia. They did a chest x-ray to rule out blood clot. They did a vaginal ultrasound (a yearly procedure for me), they drew blood like I actually had some to spare, and they found absolutely nothing wrong with me!
I have been to an endocrinologist only to find that e everything looks fine (including thyroid) and the only abnormality is having too much estrogen. I am overweight so that doesn't help but when this whole thing started 5 years ago I was 65lbs lighter. This bleeding is running my life!!! I can't exercise because I'm so tired from bleeding. I take an iron supplement two times a day. Just when I finally get my energy back - the bleeding starts again. I also have the watery discharge just before my period starts. A kind of early warning detection system.
My new gyno says that the Mirena should help curb the bleeding in a few months time. I have tried oral birth control in the past and was having such intense cramping that I was only able to use that method for two months before giving up. The cramping ended - thank goodness.
I cannot understand why there are no answers from the medical community. This is clearly a widespread issue for a lot of women. The more I talk about this with people, the more I hear from them about a sister, friend, daughter, or their own experiences with this type of hormonal problem. Here's my beef: right now I feel like I'm being treated for the symptom, not the cause. Even if this IUD works in slowing down my periods, what caused the hormonal shift in the first place? How can this be prevented? What is the root of the problem?
I went to see a homeopathic/natural remedy woman too. I haven't started taking the pills yet because I want to see how I feel with the IUD first. I expect to start them in a month and will keep you all in the loop if there seems to be a benefit. I went to her in the first place on the recommendation of a friend whose thyroid was out if wavk

Love this web page!!! I'm so thankful to hear that others are as frustrated as I am! I'm 37, have two kids, and have been freaking out that this may be some sort of cancer. I've been bleeding like a stuck pig for the last 5 years. The watery discharge is new this last year and a half. I have birthed many blood clot children (no tax credit there) and no doctor seems to know what is wrong with me. I've been through 3 gynos: one did a D&C and then gave up, one said just yank it out, and the third has me on Mirena.
I have had clear fluid leaking the past 6 months during my menstruation. I am 49 and in peri-menopause. I have a Nabothian cyst at the entrance of my cervix. My doctor told me that this is why I am leaking clear fluids as it is discharging which is a good thing. I was told by my gyne that these cysts decrease in size and ultimately disappear during menopause. I fully believe this is why I am experiencing the clear liquid during my periods as he mentioned. Maybe this explanation will clear this up for many of you that are close or in menopause.
