What is Normal Vaginal Discharge?
First it’s important to understand that all women experience some amount of vaginal discharge. Glands in your vaginal and cervix produce small amounts of fluid that flows out of your vagina everyday taking with it old cells that line the vagina. Your normal vaginal discharge helps to clean the vagina, as well as keep it lubricated and free from infection and other germs. A normal vaginal discharge does not have a foul odor and usually has no odor at all. Normal vaginal discharge often appears clear or milky when it dries on your clothing; occasionally you may notice white spots or a normal vaginal discharge that is thin and stringy looking.

Other things that may cause changes in the appearance or consistency of your vaginal discharge include:

* Your menstrual cycle

* Emotional stress

* Pregnancy

* Any prescribed or OTC medications you take including hormones such as in the Pill

* Sexual excitement

* Breastfeeding

* Ovulation

* Your diet

Other things that can upset the natural pH balance of your vagina and lead to vaginal infections include vaginal douches, feminine hygiene products, perfumed or deodorant soaps, antibiotics, pregnancy, diabetes, or the presence of another infection.

Vaginal Discharge


Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is A LOT of mucous produced, up to 30X more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.


Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.

Normal vaginal discharge:

Does not smell bad.

Is not accompanied by pain, itching, burning, or redness.
Varies with age, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and use of birth control pills.

A woman's vagina normally produces a discharge that usually is described as clear or slightly cloudy, non-irritating, and odor-free. During the normal menstrual cycle, the amount and consistency of discharge can vary. At one time of the month there may be a small amount of a very thin or watery discharge; and at another time, a more extensive thicker discharge may appear. All of these descriptions could be considered normal.

Answer 4

If you know it's not your period I would go get it checked out...sometimes periods do look like that, but if you know that it's not, then go to the doctor ASAP. Discharge should be clear to yellow. If it is green, go to the doctor - it's an infection. Depending on your vaginal cycle the discharge will change colors and consistency - when you are ovulating, the discharge is clearer and has a honey like consistency - or looks like nail polish when you lift and brush and let the polish fall back into the bottle. Good luck!
