🌸 Introduction

Vaginal discharge is a normal and healthy part of a woman’s reproductive system. However, when the color, smell, or amount changes, it may signal an infection or imbalance.

Here’s how to differentiate between normal discharge and one that needs medical attention.


💧 Normal Vaginal Discharge

Normal discharge:

  • Is clear or milky white
  • Has mild or no odor
  • Varies in amount with your menstrual cycle

It helps keep the vagina clean and protects against infection.


⚠️ When It’s Abnormal

See a gynecologist if you notice:

  • Thick, curd-like white discharge (possible yeast infection)
  • Yellow or green discharge with odor (bacterial infection)
  • Gray discharge with fishy smell (bacterial vaginosis)
  • Blood-stained discharge between periods

💊 Common Causes

  • Poor hygiene or excessive use of vaginal washes
  • Unprotected intercourse
  • Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)
  • Infections such as Candida, Trichomonas, or BV

🩺 Diagnosis & Treatment

At Agrawal Clinic, we perform:

  • Microscopic evaluation or culture test
  • Infection-specific antibiotic or antifungal treatment
  • Guidance on hygiene and dietary balance

Avoid self-medicating — improper treatment can cause recurrence.


💖 Home Care Tips

  • Keep the vaginal area dry and clean
  • Wear cotton undergarments
  • Avoid scented soaps and sprays
  • Change sanitary pads frequently
