The glands in the vagina and cervix secrete a healthy discharge to keep the parts clean and moist. This fluid carries bacteria and dead cells out of the body thus help in the prevention of infections. The healthy discharge is mostly clear fluid, it can also be sticky and have a thicker texture or it may be milky with a subtle scent (not an unpleasant or foul one). The quantity and characteristics of discharge may vary from woman to woman. The changes in the discharge may be noticed during monthly menstrual cycles.
The normal discharge will not soak a pad or panty liner. However, an unusual change in the smell, color, or texture of the discharge indicates an ongoing infection. Irritation in the vaginal or valvular region, pain, or itching may accompany the discharge.
The characteristics of the discharge may be stretchy and wet during the ovulation period i.e. approximately between days 11 and 21 of the menstrual cycle. The body produces more mucus during this stage time. Discharge is often white or cloudy, due to raised levels of the progesterone just before the periods. And immediately after a period, characteristic brownish discharge with fishy odor may be noticed, because of the remnants of blood in the vagina.
