Hi, I am 50 yr old female, still having monthly periods and have started jogging. Haven't jogged since last fall, weather is finally nice. I just got back from jogging with my friend, about a mile nice and slow. I noticed that when I got back to the gym, my underwear was soaking wet, no smell but a lot of discharge...thought at first it was from sweating but noticed that my vaginal was very wet and it was a slippery texture. I was so glad I wore loose fitting shorts or I would have soaked through. Is this normal? I know that you are not supposed too but when I jog can I use a tampon, I don't want to use pads since they are uncomfortable for normal wear? What causes the excessive discharge? I was so embarrassed I didn't even discuss with my best friend who is my jogging buddy.
Please help.
Thanks, Deb
