&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;91qbf&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vaginal discharge is normal &amp;ndash; most women and girls get it. It&#39;s a fluid or mucus that keeps the vagina clean and moist, and protects it from infection.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a&gt;What is vaginal discharge?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vaginal discharge is fluid secreted from tiny glands in the vagina and cervix. This fluid leaks from the vagina each day to remove old cells and debris, keeping the vagina and reproductive tract clean and healthy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The amount of vaginal discharge can vary significantly from person to person.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check if your vaginal discharge is normal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;c2iy9&quot;&gt;Vaginal discharge is not usually anything to worry about if it:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-block-key=&quot;x66sg&quot;&gt;does not have a strong or unpleasant smell&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-block-key=&quot;ri8c5&quot;&gt;is clear or white&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-block-key=&quot;wf4ax&quot;&gt;is thick and sticky&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-block-key=&quot;vu9ut&quot;&gt;is slippery and wet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;q2zk2&quot;&gt;You can get vaginal discharge at any age.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;5hib6&quot;&gt;The amount of discharge varies. You usually get heavier discharge during pregnancy, if you&#39;re sexually active or if you&#39;re using birth control. It&#39;s often slippery and wet for a few days between your&amp;nbsp;periods&amp;nbsp;(when you ovulate).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;5hib6&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;091e9c5e8026f80a-1-2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What causes abnormal discharge?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any change in the vagina&#39;s balance of normal bacteria can affect the smell, color, or discharge texture. These are a few of the things that can upset that balance:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Antibiotic or&amp;nbsp;steroid&amp;nbsp;use&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bacterial vaginosis, a&amp;nbsp;bacterial infection&amp;nbsp;more common in pregnant women or women who have multiple sexual partners&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Birth control pills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cervical cancer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chlamydia&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;gonorrhea&amp;nbsp;(STDs), sexually transmitted infections&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Diabetes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Douches, scented soaps or lotions, bubble bath&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pelvic infection after surgery&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pelvic inflammatory disease&amp;nbsp;(PID)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trichomoniasis, a parasitic infection typically contracted and caused by having unprotected sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vaginal atrophy, the thinning and drying out of the vaginal walls during menopause&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vaginitis, irritation in or around the vagina&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yeast infections&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When vaginal discharge can be a sign of an infection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;u3wzd&quot;&gt;If your discharge changes &amp;ndash; for example, in smell, colour or texture &amp;ndash; it might be a sign of an infection. But do not self-diagnose &amp;ndash; see a GP if you&#39;re worried.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 data-block-key=&quot;x3d09&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sexual health clinics can help with abnormal discharge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;cdigp&quot;&gt;Sexual health clinics treat problems with the genitals and urine system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;dbt5h&quot;&gt;Many sexual health clinics offer a walk-in service, where you do not need an appointment. They&#39;ll often get test results quicker than GP surgeries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;7tlb0&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;091e9c5e8026f80a-2-4&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does the doctor diagnose abnormal discharge?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The doctor will start by taking a health history and asking about your symptoms. Questions may include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When did the abnormal discharge begin?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What color is the discharge?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is there any smell?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you have any itching, pain, or burning in or around the vagina?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you have more than one sexual partner?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you douche?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The doctor may take a sample of the discharge or do a&amp;nbsp;Pap test&amp;nbsp;to collect cells from your cervix for further examination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;av-special-heading-tag &quot;&gt;Testing&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;special_amp&quot;&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Treatment For Abnormal Vaginal Discharge&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In rarer instances, some ladies experience repeated abnormal discharge every month nearing their periods, or even abnormal discharge each time after sex even though both partners have been tested clear for STIs. The results after the swab can then be discussed with our PULSE clinic doctors to further investigate the causes of these repeated symptoms. Speak to our doctors at&amp;nbsp;PULSE Clinics&amp;nbsp;for Women&amp;rsquo;s Health issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quick, confidential and fuss-free testing in the comfort and privacy of our PULSExpress clinic, designed around the comforts and needs of You the patient, allow for rapid results and expedited treatment for you and or your partner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get tested today.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;We accept both walk-in and appointment booking!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;091e9c5e8026f80a-2-5&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How is abnormal discharge treated?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How you are treated will depend on what&amp;rsquo;s causing the problem. For example,&amp;nbsp;yeast infections&amp;nbsp;are usually treated with&amp;nbsp;antifungal&amp;nbsp;medications&amp;nbsp;inserted into the vagina in cream or gel form. Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotic pills or creams. Trichomoniasis is usually treated with the drug&amp;nbsp;metronidazole&amp;nbsp;(Flagyl) or&amp;nbsp;tinidazole&amp;nbsp;(Tindamax).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some tips for preventing&amp;nbsp;vaginal infections&amp;nbsp;that can lead to abnormal discharge:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep the vagina clean by washing&amp;nbsp;with a gentle, mild soap and warm water&amp;nbsp;on the outside. There is no need to put soap directly in the vagina.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Never use scented soaps and feminine products or douche. Also avoid feminine sprays and bubble baths.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After going to the bathroom, always wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria from getting into the vagina and causing an infection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wear 100% cotton underpants, and avoid overly tight clothing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Things you can do to help with vaginal discharge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;l8lw3&quot;&gt;You cannot prevent vaginal discharge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;uygy9&quot;&gt;Panty liners can help with heavy or excessive discharge or if you&#39;re worried about any smell. But do not use them all of the time because they can cause irritation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;0porb&quot;&gt;To help avoid irritation, soreness or dryness:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;d2oj7&quot;&gt;do not use deodorants or scented hygiene wipes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;jhbmi&quot;&gt;do not wash inside your vagina (douche)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
