Abnormal Vaginal Discharge
Abnormal Vaginal Discharge
Abnormal Vaginal discharge is
the most common complaint among all women. It is the fluid that is
produced by the glands in the lining of the vagina and the cervix. A small
amount of vaginal discharge, which is milky
white and clear with no odor, is usually normal.
What is the purpose of vaginal discharge?
The vaginal secretion, which flows out of the
vagina every day helps to maintain your vagina healthy and clean. However, it
becomes abnormal vaginal discharge when the amount and appearance of discharge
changes.
Abnormal vaginal discharge is a highly common
phenomenon that can be identified through three main symptoms: excessive vaginal discharge, changes in
discharge color and odor, itching, irritation, soreness or burning
sensation of vagina and vulva.
How does abnormal vaginal discharge look like?
If you have an abnormal discharge then there will
be an increase in the amount and thickness of discharge, white and clumpy (like
cottage cheese), grayish,
greenish, yellowish, or blood-tinged discharge, mucus and pus mixed in
with discharge or frothy smell.
Causes for abnormal vaginal discharge
Abnormal discharge may be caused by the
inflammation of vagina, usually known as vaginitis, which occurs due to an
infection or chemical irritation. It mostly occurs in young girls with a
discharge that may contain blood due to a foreign object in the vagina.
Chemical irritation
Irritation may result from spermicides, vaginal lubricants, diaphragms, and latex
condoms. Also, certain detergents, natural allergens, soaps or lotions may
cause a chemical irritation of the vaginal area.
Menopause induced sensitivity
The vagina becomes thinner and dryer after
menopause where an inflammation of vagina may occur, thus increasing your
chances of having excess vaginal discharge.
Bacterial vaginosis
A change in appearance and odor can be caused by bacterial vaginosis. With this
bacterium, normal vaginal discharge may turn into a white, gray,
or yellowish cloudy discharge with a strange (fishy) odor.
STD infection
A thick, white, and clumpy discharge (like
cottage cheese), which is accompanied by itching, is generally caused
by candidiasis, a yeast infection.
A protozoan infection, called trichomoniasis
(sexually transmitted disease) changes discharge from vagina into a heavy,
greenish yellow, frothy discharge that may have a bad odor.
Other sexually transmitted diseases such as
gonorrhea, chlamydia can change the color of your discharge. A greenish or
yellowish discharge may occur due to cervical infection, which is caused by
gonorrhea, chlamydia.
However, cancer of the vagina, cervix, or lining
of the uterus may cause a blood-tinged, watery
vaginal discharge.
How to deal with abnormal vaginal discharge?
Once you find your normal vaginal discharge to be
abnormal, it is better to consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and
treatment.
Remember, treating yourself with home remedies may improve your
symptoms for few days but cannot completely eliminate your abnormal vaginal
discharge.
Diagnosing and treating the abnormal vaginal discharge
For diagnosing the cause of the abnormal vaginal
discharge, your doctor will perform a pelvic examination and also examine
a sample of the discharge using a microscope.
Once the cause of the excessive vaginal discharge
is identified, your doctor will start treating your problem. Oral antibiotics
or antibiotic vaginal creams will be prescribed if the cause of abnormal
vaginal secretion is a bacterial infection.
However, a specific oral drug or vaginal
preparations will be prescribed if your abnormal vaginal discharge is due to a
type of yeast infection or trichomonas. If it is caused by a tumor,
then a biopsy of the cervix or vagina may be compulsory.

Education for girls
Education
for girls
Impact of poverty on girls’
education
Low levels of income, economic growth and employment often
act as major barriers to girls’ education. Many families are unable to
meet the direct costs of putting their children through school. This
includes the cost of school fees, books and uniforms. As a result of poverty
many families are forced to choose which of their children to send to school.
In many cases it is the girl that is kept back.
This contributes to factors that help to continue the cycle
of poverty, such as child labour, low wages, and job insecurity. Instead girls
are made to either work in order to earn additional money for the family or are
kept at home in order to do chores or care for siblings. Boys are seen as
the future breadwinners of the family whilst girls are often viewed as being
destined to be a non-earning wife and mother.
For girls and women living in poverty, education is not only
the key to a brighter future; it is also a key to survival.
Impact of cultural attitudes on
girls’ education
Cultural attitudes of many communities in the world’s
poorest countries affect the number of girls who are educated. Many
misconceptions still exist around the benefit of sending girls to school and
the role of women in the economy and wider society. Many believe that girls are
better-off if married early and will be more financially secure with a husband.
As a result many adolescent girls around the world are subject to forced
marriages, often with men who are considerably older than them. This brings
extra responsibilities for girls, including more household tasks and childcare,
leaving little or no time for education. Many of these girls end up as young
mothers. Because they have insufficient education many of these girls are at
risk from suffering complications or fatalities at childbirth. 
In many poor communities there is a lack of knowledge of the
potential long-term benefits educating a girl can bring. The low status
of women along with deep-rooted patriarchal attitudes often results in girls’
education being perceived as a low priority. Furthermore, girls may face sexual
and non-sexual violence from staff, male pupils, family and other members within
their community. This therefore contributes towards low attendance,
high-dropout rates and under-performance. Girls can also face being forced to
trade sex for grades.
Providing girls with suitable education can also provide a
forum for changing attitudes about violence towards women and promoting greater
gender equality.
Impact of conflicts and lack of
infrastructure on girls’ education
Where schools, teachers and students are targets of armed
violence, the provision of education is disrupted in many ways. A lack of adequate
infrastructure can often lead to girls missing out on education. This
could be because there are not enough school places in a community for children
to attend.
As a result many children, especially those in rural
communities, are forced to travel long distances in order to go to
school. Due to issues of safety and security parents are less likely to
allow daughters to attend school if they have to travel long distances. Equally
girls may not feel school is a safe or secure environment if, for instance,
there are no separate toilets for boys and girls. Often, girls do not attend
school during menstruation because of a lack of clean, safe and private
sanitation facilities.
Providing girls with a clean and safe learning environment
will improve the likelihood that girls will remain in education and help lift
themselves out of poverty.
Butterscotch Cookies Recipe
Butterscotch Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter,
cut into tablespoon sized slices
- 1 3/4 cups dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Sugar Dredging Mixture
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Fleur de sel, Maldon, sea salt, or Kosher salt for sprinkling*
*Do not use fine grain table salt (aka: iodized salt) as the
flavor will be way off and unpleasant.
Method
1
Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Vigorously
whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside. Mix
together the sugar dredging mixture in another bowl and set aside.
2
Place 10 tablespoons of butter into a thick-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
The butter will foam a bit before subsiding. Once the butter takes on a tan
color and begins to smell nutty take it off of the heat. Add the other two
tablespoons of butter and mix it in until it melts.
3
Pour the brown butter into a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment. Add
the brown sugar and salt and mix. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract
and mix together, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl at least once.
Add the flour mixture in three increments being sure to scrape down the sides
and bottom once or twice. Mix just until the flour is incorporated. The dough
will be very thick.
4
Take 1/2 to full tablespoon-sized pieces of dough (you can make them a bit
bigger or smaller to your liking, just make sure the pieces of dough are all
the same size) and gently roll them into ball shapes. Dredge them in the sugar
dredging mixture until well-coated. Place on the baking sheet and sprinkle with
a little bit of the sprinkling salt (be reserved with the salt as very little
goes a long way).
5
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges have browned a bit. Be careful not to
over-bake. Allow to cool on the sheet for one minute before transferring to a
wire rack to cool completely. Tastes best with a glass of milk for dipping.

Makes 4 dozen
