What is Vaginal Discharge?

Vaginal discharge is a fluid produced by glands inside the vagina and cervix. It helps remove dead cells and bacteria, keeping the vagina clean and preventing infections. Normal discharge is usually clear or white and may vary in consistency depending on the time of the menstrual cycle.

Hormonal Changes

Pregnancy, birth control, or menopause can affect the consistency and amount of vaginal discharge.
