Vaginal Discharge

Vaginal discharge is a normal, natural clear, white or off-white fluid that comes out of your vagina and is made up of cells and bacteria. It helps clean and lubricate your vagina and helps fight off unwanted bacteria and infection.Talk to your doctor if you notice a change in your vaginal discharge, such as:

• An increase in the amount of vaginal discharge.

• A change in the color of the discharge.

• A foul-smelling odor.

• A change in texture or consistency of the discharge.

• Irritation, itching or pain in or around your vagina.

These changes could indicate that you have an infection or another medical condition that should be addressed. It is important to note that discharge is your body’s natural way of cleaning your vagina. You shouldn’t use sprays, perfumes or douches to improve the smell of your vagina.
