The Discharge Chronicles: The Usual Suspects
Ever wondered why that mysterious discharge keeps showing up like an uninvited guest? Or why your yeast infection seems to have more comebacks than a ‘90s boy band?
In this laugh-out-loud yet educational episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure dive deep into the underworld of vaginitis, the usual suspects of yeast and bacterial vaginosis (BV). With humor, honesty, and a dash of microbiology geekery, they tackle the uncomfortable questions we all secretly want to ask.
From “cottage cheese discharge” to the “fishy” aroma of BV, Ashley and Meredith explain the symptoms, causes, and most common misunderstandings about vaginal health. They share the not-so-sexy truth about what’s happening when your microbiome is off-balance, why treating without testing can make things worse, and how certain meds (looking at you, Jardiance) can turn your vagina into a yeast playground.
Along the way, they reveal their favorite tools of the trade, like microscopes for spotting budding yeast, saline slides and KOH preps for quick in-office diagnoses. And they take on myths about sexually transmitted infections and pap smear “surprises.”
