Do You Get Bad Smell discharge after Period (MP)?

The post menstrual discharge can be of various types, firstly it could be an odorless white or transparent discharge, or it could be a smelly white or off-white, creamy discharge or it could be a smelly brown discharge. All of them have different meanings. Let us understand these odorless or smelly discharges in women. The understanding about it may help you deal with it better. The explanation goes with the help of the questions below:-


I have a weird white discharge a couple of weeks after my period ends. It isn't smelly, but it does make me uncomfortable. What is it all about? Am I unwell?
No, you are fine. Odorless discharge after period is normal for many women. However, there is a slight possibility that it is yeast candida albicans fungus. This happens when a hormonal change causes the natural bacteria in your vagina to lower their guard and allow the yeast Candida bacteria to multiply. Basically, your body-hormone balance is out of whack. So, you simply need to go see a gynecologist and take the medication that they prescribe. There is nothing to worry about odorless discharge. It often also happens due to lack of energy in the body. Keep a healthy and balanced diet, to keep the discharge at bay as far as you can.

I have a slightly smelly off-white creamy discharge. I heard that STD's cause this kind of discharge. I am sexually active. Will this make me infertile? Could this mean chlamydia?
Well, if the smelly discharge after period comes with a burning sensation in the vagina, then it could mean chlamydia. The best is to get the tests done at the earliest. If chlamydia is not treated in time, it could lead to infertility. Other than that, if your discharge is just smelly, creamy and not really that uncomfortable, then it could be vaginal candida albicans fungus or bacterial vaginosis. In this case get the tests done and take the medication requires. However, if there is a slightly greenish discharge and the smell is strong, then there is a possibility that you have trichomonas vaginalis. It is a potentially harmless amoeba infection. However, some doctors say that it could spread to the fallopian tubes. So, visit a doctor at the earliest and find the cure to your discomfort. Another possibility for causing this smelly vaginal discharge could be a forgotten tampon. Don't laugh, it happens to many. On the last day of the period women could forget to remove the tampon. After a point of time, the tampon festers. This causes the discharge and the smell. So, before you panic, track your steps, have you forgotten to remove a tampon?


I have a very uncomfortable brown smelly discharge after period. It happens every month, and lasts a couple of days.
Most probably the brown discharge is old blood. It is a possibility that it is smelly due to bacteria. There are several "feminine washes" available in the market that one may try to their benefit. However, getting a check up done at the gynecologist is the best plan of action to find the root cause of this smelly vaginal discharge. If this discharge happens a week or more after your period is over, then it could mean complications. Visit a doctor at the earliest to avoid any major health hassles due to this smelly discharge after period.


All these doubts about smelly discharge after period are normal for women. The fact still remains that we are a complex clan, and so is our anatomy. In case you feel alarmed at any phenomenon occurring to your body like smelly vaginal discharge, do not hesitate to meet a gynecologist and discuss it openly. This is where I sign off! Hope this article helped you out!

Beshear may need to support meds-for-meth bill for it to pass, Conway says

Passage of a "meds-for-meth" bill next year could depend on how a re-elected Gov. Steve Beshear feels about the issue, on which he has not taken a position, Attorney General Jack Conway told Ryan Alessi on CN|2's "Pure Politics."

Conway is a supporter of such a bill, which would make pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient in the manufacture of methamphetamine, available only by prescription. Alessi noted that the Democratic governor has remained ambivalent about the issue and asked the Democratic attorney general, "Does the governor need to come out in order to get something like that passed?"

"This is an issue ... that just grabbed me, right here."

Conway replied, "He may need to. He may need to, and I know he's studying the issue." Bringing his hand to his chest, Conway continued, "This is an issue, Ryan, that just grabbed me, right here," adding that he had been wrongly blamed during his U.S. Senate race last year for an increase in meth labs during his term."We have seen an explosion of meth labs in this state for two reasons," he said. "One, it's still very easy to get your hands on pseudoephedrine, and . . . you now can do it in a mobile fashion ... called a shake-and-bake lab." He said U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Somerset, begged him to support the bill partly because investigators for the UNITE anti-drug program Rogers started are having to shift from prescription drugs to meth.

Conway said he would be open to changing his position if drug companies and other opponents of the bill can come up with a way to control "smurfing," the use of surrogates to circumvent the electronic system that tracks pseudoephedrine purchases but is not even used by most pharmacies.

His Republican opponent, Hopkins County Attorney Todd P'Pool, opposes the bill and says meth manufacture should be controlled by tightening "the law to bar convicted drug dealers from being able to buy cold medicine with pseudoephedrine and cracking down on the amount someone can buy per month," Alessi reports.

Twice as many kids are killed on roads and streets on Halloween as on any other day, but many parents fail to discuss safety

Only one-third of parents talk to their children each year about how to stay safe on Halloween, a study released by the Safe Kids Fayette County Program has found, even though on average, twice as many child pedestrians are killed during the holiday than on any other other day of the year.

"Given children's limited attention spans, repeated and consistent messages about safe behaviors are key to preventing injuries," said Sherri Hannan, a nurse and coordinator of Safe Kids Fayette County. "By following the basic safety tips provided by Safe Kids, Halloween can be a fun and safe night for children of all ages."

Of the 935 parents surveyed, most said they had talked to their kids at some point about Halloween safety but don't make it an annual conversation. The study also showed 40 percent of parents allow their children to use one or more unsafe items on Halloween, such as a mask, loose-fitting clothing and/or a sharp object.

The study found that 12 percent of children 5 or younger are allowed to trick-or-treat without an adult. "It is alarming to hear that children ages 5 years and younger are trick-or-treating without adult supervision," Hannan said. "If they are old enough and mature enough to trick-or-treat without an adult, parents should make sure children go out in groups and stick to a predetermined route with good lighting."

To keep children safe, Safe Kids recommends:
• Children under 12 should trick-or-treat and cross streets with an adult.
• Children and parents should always walk on sidewalks or paths. In the absence of those, they should walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.
• Parents and children should cross at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.
• Costumes and trick-or-treat bags should be decorated with reflective tape or stickers.
• Parents should check treats for signs of tampering before children are allowed to eat them. Candy should be thrown away if the wrapped is faded, torn or unwrapped.
• Drivers should slow down and be especially alert in neighborhoods.
• Drivers should anticipate heavy traffic and turn on their headlights early in the day.
• Drivers should reduce distractions while driving and pay attention to the road.

What Are The Basics to Female Personal Hygiene?

Personal feminine hygiene is a crucial part of any woman's daily routine. According to "Health Information Advisor," the female body produces hormones that secrete oil in the genital area and a milky discharge in the vagina that naturally cleanses and provides protection. The genital area is sensitive and any slight change such as menstruation, sexual activity and exercise can disrupt its natural balance. When this happens, women are likely to experience itching, redness, odor and possible infections. Proper feminine hygiene means cleaning thoroughly, which reduces bacteria, eliminates odor and contributes to overall good health.


Cleansing 
Use mild soap and water to clean your genital area. Clean between the folds of the labia, as well as the anus, and avoid perfumes and scented lotions. The "Health Information Advisor" reports that perfumes and scented lotions can break down the genitals' natural barrier, and douches can disrupt the acidic balance of the vagina.
Wiping
When urinating or having a bowel movement, always wipe from front to back. According to the Faqs.org article, "Personal Care and Hygiene -- Genital Care for Females," bodily waste can increase bacteria in the vagina and urethra, causing vaginal or urinary tract infections.


Menstruation
Wash frequently with mild soap and water when menstruating. Change your tampons every four to six hours, and change sanitary pads every two to four. Faqs.org reports that changing tampons regularly will help eliminate odors as well as reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome.


Sexual Activity
Wash your genitals with mild soap and water after intercourse. Use protection to help protect against STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases), and make yearly appointments with a gynecologist.


Clothing
Wear undergarments with a cotton crotch and change them daily to help in pulling moisture away from the body. According to Faqs.org, you should avoid wearing tight jeans, pants or panties as they tend to hold in moisture, which creates a breeding ground for bacteria. Sleep without underwear to promote the natural drying of your genitals.

Start a Home Chocolate Business

Almost everyone loves chocolate. This is a home business that would be an excellent opportunity for a creative person to start. I suggest doing this at home first, as a hobby before you truly "become a business". Here are some tips on getting started.


Requirements

• Chocolate
• Molds
• Lollipop Sticks
• Curling Ribbon
• Plastic bags for your lollipops
• Time
• Various other things

One
MAKE CHOCOLATE FOR FUN
**Place chocolate melts in microwave, melt at 40 second intervals
**Cool chocolate back down (temper)
**Stir to make sure it's smooth
**Pour chocolate into molds
**Roll lollipop stick back and forth until covered.
**Eliminate air bubbles by lifting mold and checking, tap mold on counter
**Do not fill molds too full
**Freeze for 12 minutes, OR refrigerator for 35 minutes.
**REMOVE let chocolate get back to room temperature. (If the candy is too cold it will create a film from the condensation on the plastic)
**Place candy in bags and tie up with curling ribbon.
Two
IF YOU ENJOY MAKING CHOCOLATE
**Start buying little tins (usually at the dollar store, Target, or Wal-Mart) and stick your lollipops in styrofoam and top with shredded paper
**Start giving it as gifts in your office, to teachers, to coaches, to friends at church, for Bosses Day, doctors office and staffWhen they thank you for your kind gift, say something to the effect - "Chocolate started out as a hobby for me, but I'm starting to really enjoy it. Please let me know if I can ever make anything special for you to give to someone special." If your chocolate tastes good and is pretty - you will get some business.
Three
CONSIDER YOUR COSTS AND TIME AND SPACE-If your business is a hobby from home, take into account how much you spend on your products. You want it to be fun, but profitable. You don't want to be up until all hours of the night finishing an order of chocolate lollipops for a baby shower and only clear Tsh 23000/= $20. Figure your costs - down to the curling ribbon and lollipop sticks or bags. Take each of those into consideration. Also, think about the space you have to make your chocolate. The molds take up space.
Four
GET CREATIVE-To get people interested in your product, try making something different. Add some Oreo cookies into white chocolate, or crushed cashews into milk chocolate. Drizzle caramel in your candy molds. Cover pop corn with chocolate. Try to make chocolate without a mold. I made a chocolate lilly pad once - for a springtime baby shower. You want to know ALL ABOUT CHOCOLATE - what you can do and what it can do for you.
Five
YOUR MOLD, AN ADDICTION OR INVESTMENT-Molds are so fun and clever. But they do take up space. Before you go crazy and order a lot online make sure you can store your candy molds and get to them easily.When you are starting out - you can buy molds from a local store. But if you're going to go into business - you will need to find an online supplier so you can provide a unique product.
Six
IF THIS HOBBY SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BECOME A BUSINESS - Congratulations!!!You can start thinking about turning this small home business into a money making business outside of the home. You will want to follow the state guidelines for preparing food in your home, or find a space to make your chocolate creations. Once this is done, consider setting up a space at a local farmer's market or try selling your chocolates to a local gift basket business.


Tips

• Don't over commit yourself.
• Keep track of inventory, it's sad when you're making chocolate and run out of lollipop sticks OR milk chocolate.
• Do keep a list of people who have ordered from you so you can go back to them.
• Best of luck!!!
• Chocolate DOES NOT travel well in the heat or sunlight.
• Chocolate is dangerous to dogs. Don't let them eat any.
