How To Tell Whether My Vaginal Discharge Is Normal?
Normally your discharge should change as follows:
– right after period you have no visible discharge or very few secretions because they are too thick in your cervical channel to be excreted outside; closer to ovulation, which is approximately in the middle of your cycle, your vaginal discharge is getting thinner and during ovulation it’s clear, stretchy and stringy; next you are experiencing thicker discharge that reminds body lotion; and finally your discharge turns thick and sticky.
The color of your vaginal discharge may vary: clear, whitish, yellowish. No greenish, prominent yellow or grayish discharge is acceptable. Those are symptoms of infections. So is copious discharge that literally soaks your underwear or smells unpleasantly (foul, fish-like smell).
