A complaint of abnormal vaginal discharge– abnormal in terms of quantity, colour or odour – most commonly indicates a vaginal infection (vaginitis) whether sexually transmitted (trichomoniasis) or not (bacterial vaginosis, fungus). Less often, vaginal discharge can be a result of an STI.

1. What could be your condition?

Normal vaginal discharge is clear, thin and has no smell (or only a slight smell). It is normal for the discharge to become slightly cloudy and sticky and less in quantity during the middle of each menstrual cycle.
 

If your vaginal discharge is different from usual, it is possible you have an infection, of your vagina, cervix or pelvic.

4. What can you do?

Seek medical care [l1] as soon as possible to get diagnosed and get treatment for the infection
