Women have white stains in their underwear almost every day of the week that have nothing to do with sex. It's a normal cleansing action of the female body and it's why CheckMate was created, so that men could finally have a way to find out the stain is nothing if it is in fact nothing - instead of needlessly damaging or destroying their relationship for absolutely no reason.

A certain amount of vaginal discharge is normal. It is a result of the hormones that are produced by your body. Normal vaginal discharge does not have a strong odour and is usually clear, white, or slightly yellow. If you find that the discharge is smelly, has changed color, or is itchy or irritating to your skin, see a healthcare provider.

Not all vaginal discharge is your enemy. However, if it is: chunky, white (like cottage cheese) and accompanied by an irritating itch; foul-smelling; or green-yellow, treatment is required. The white, itchy discharge may have a musty odor and is usually a yeast infection which can be treated over the counter with a three-day or longer yeast treatment (NOT Vagisil). The other problematic discharge needs to be evaluated by a care provider, as we can not accurately diagnose you over the phone.

Ans. Yes, slightly increased vaginal discharge is normal in pregnancy, keep local cleanliness. But if discharge is offensive or associated with pain then it is indicative of infection, which may lead to abortion or premature labour, so consult your doctor and get yourself examined.

It is very common for women to have a vaginal discharge, but it can be bothersome or concerning for some women. Under the influence of estrogen, the vagina and cervix secrete mucous which results in a discharge. This is completely normal, and starts when a girl begins to go through puberty.

The only medications that can cause a false positive on a home pregnancy test are those than contain hCG itself. If you are taking fertility medications with hCG - e.g. Novarel, Profasi, Pregnyl - please consult your doctor regarding appropriate times and circumstances for using our tests. Other fertility drugs and medications that do not contain hCG will not precipitate false positive results. Similarly, progesterone will not cause a false positive as well.

Whether you are using your computer or it is sitting idle, the software works in the background. You won't even notice it's there working to solve one of the world's most complex problems.

Yes. It is normal to have secretions at times of the month other than your period. These secretions keep the vagina clean, help prevent infection, and provide lubrication during sexual arousal and intercourse. You may see a clear sticky discharge about 2 weeks after your period.

Yes. In general, it is best that you take all of your normal medications before and after your scope test. The exceptions would be those patients on diabetic medications (insulin or pills) and those who take medications to prevent clotting such as Coumadin, Plavix, and Ticlid.

Cervical caps may cause more vaginal odour and discharge than diaphragms. The user should remove the cervical cap no later than 24 hours after insertion and should clean and dry the cervical cap between uses. If a woman is experiencing persistent vaginal discharge, despite these preventative measures, an alternate contraceptive device should be considered.

Proper test procedure requires that the subject have nothing in their mouth for 10 to 15 minutes prior to testing. If the subject has anything with alcohol in their mouth just prior to testing, the alcohol in their mouth will contaminate the test, giving an artificially high reading. However, 15 minutes is sufficient time for all mouth alcohol to be dissipated.

Specifically, caffeine is a problem both directly and indirectly. Acetaminophen or any drugs containing acetaminophen can be a problem. No other medicinal source of interference has been identified. Clonidine or its metabolites show up in the chromatograms but they aren't a problem. Again, listing these interferences is best left up to the individual laboratory responsible for the test being performed. If the patient is not given a list of known interferences, be sure to insist on having a copy.

If you are actually pregnant, have recently been pregnant, or have reached menopause, you may get a misleading result.

A certain among of discharge is normal during the middle of the cycle at the time of the resale of the egg and a few days before the beginning of the periods. This discharge is clear and not foul smelling. It could be profuse and accompanied by itching if it is due to poor personal or menstrual hygiene. Care should be taken to exclude sexually transmitted infections, if there is history of sexual activity.

Even a stress test isn't 100% definitive. Certainly someone with a normal stress test is at lower risk than someone with an abnormal one. But plaque in an artery can sometimes go from an undetectable 20% blockage to a critical 99% blockage overnight, much like a volcano erupting. Unfortunately, this sort of situation is almost impossible to predict or prevent. Controlling blood pressure and cholesterol and taking aspirin can help, however. Yes and no.
