When is vaginal discharge a sign of illness?
In a typical state, the secretion is:
-
odorless;
-
white or transparent;
-
thick and sticky or watery and slightly stretchy.
However, if the discharge seems unusual, it could indicate:
| Condition | Characteristics of secretion |
|---|---|
| Candida (fungal infection) | lumpy and “grainy” consistency |
| bacterial vaginosis | strong “fishy” smell |
| Trichomonase | yellow or greenish foamy discharge |
Contact a specialist if you experience:
-
Blood stains.
-
Pain in the lower abdomen or when urinating.
-
Significant increase in the amount of secretion.
-
Visible changes in color, odor, or texture.
-
Irritation or itching in the intimate area.
Remember: Vaginal discharge is completely natural and plays an important role in the female reproductive system.This article is provided for informational purposes only.
