Common "Vaginal Secretion" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Vaginal Secretion

The glands inside the vagina produce vaginal secretions, and they help in clearing away the dead cells and bacteria. The color and odor of the vaginal secretion can vary depending on the time of your menstrual cycle. Bloody or brown, cloudy, yellow, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge are signs of vaginal infections.
