Vaginal Discharge 

Vaginal discharge is just fluid that your uterus, cervix or vagina produces. It’s your body’s way of ridding itself of old cells. Clear or white discharge is normal, so there’s generally no need to be concerned. 

The only time vaginal discharge may be an issue is if it changes. If it becomes heavier or you notice changes in the smell or color, you should monitor the situation. 

You’ll definitely want to see your doctor if the discharge is accompanied by: 

• itching;
• swelling;
• pelvic pain; or
• it has a foamy or clumpy consistency. 

Unless the above applies, there is no need to be concerned. Just wash regularly and keep the area clean and dry.
