It’s a natural fluid made up of mucus, water, dead cells, and healthy bacteria that keeps the vagina clean, moist, and protected. Normal discharge is usually clear or white, may feel watery, slippery, or slightly sticky, and has little to no odor, sometimes leaving light stains on underwear when dried. Changes in discharge can occur due to the menstrual cycle,

hormones, age, menopause, s**ual activity, or medications. After menopause, lower estrogen often leads to less discharge and more dryness, though changes in texture or odor can also occur. Normal discharge should not cause itching, burning, or discomfort. Signs to see a doctor include strong or fishy odor, thick white “cottage cheese” texture, yellow or green foamy fluid, grayish discharge with itching, blood not related to periods, pain, or burning when urinating. Postmenopausal women should especially seek medical advice for unusual bleeding or discharge.
