Wikipedia

  1. Vaginal discharge

    Vaginal discharge is a mixture of liquid, cells, and bacteria that lubricate and protect the vagina. This mixture is constantly produced by the cells of the vagina and cervix, and it exits the body through the vaginal opening. The composition, amount, and quality of discharge varies between individuals and can vary throughout the menstrual cycle and throughout the stages of sexual and reproductive development. Normal vaginal discharge may have a thin, watery consistency or a thick, sticky consistency, and it may be clear or white in color. Normal vaginal discharge may be large in volume but typically does not have a strong odor, nor is it typically associated with itching or pain. While most discharge is considered physiologic or represents normal functioning of the body, some changes in discharge can reflect infection or other pathological processes. Infections that may cause changes in vaginal discharge include vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted infections. The characteristics of abnormal vaginal discharge vary depending on the cause, but common features include a change in color, a foul odor, and associated symptoms such as itching, burning, pelvic pain, or pain during sexual intercourse.

  1. vaginal discharge

    Vaginal discharge is a fluid or semi-solid substance that is naturally produced by the glands in the lining of the vagina and cervix. This discharge helps to keep the vagina clean and healthy, providing lubrication, carrying away dead cells and bacteria, and preventing infections. The color, texture, and volume of the discharge can vary depending on hormonal changes, sexual arousal, infections, diet, stress, and other factors. While it is normal for the discharge to change throughout a woman's menstrual cycle, sudden changes in color, smell, or consistency can be a sign of a potential health problem.
