Vaginal discharge is a normal fluid produced by glands in the vagina, but changes in color, smell, or amount can signal infections or other health issues requiring medical attention.
Vaginal discharge is a common and natural bodily process that helps clean and protect the vagina. However, abnormal changes can indicate infections or other health concerns. Understanding symptoms and treatment options is essential for maintaining reproductive health.
Changes in vaginal discharge may result from infections such as yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or sexually transmitted infections. Hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause can also affect discharge patterns.
Other causes include irritation from soaps, douches, or allergic reactions, as well as underlying conditions like cervical infections or tumors.
If you notice persistent or severe symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis. They may perform pelvic examinations, laboratory tests, or cultures to determine the cause.
