🌸 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

- Wear cotton undergarments
- Avoid scented soaps and sprays
