Common "Discharge" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Discharge

Discharge pertains to the fluid expelled from different body parts, such as the vagina, penis, nose, or eyes. Specifically focusing on vaginal health, vaginal discharge is a natural physiological process. It is generated by the cervix and vagina to maintain cleanliness and lubrication within the vaginal environment. Normal vaginal discharge usually appears clear or white, may possess a subtle scent, and its consistency can vary during the menstrual cycle. However, changes in the color, consistency, amount, or odor of vaginal discharge may indicate an underlying infection or other medical condition.
