Common "Vaginal Discharge Types" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Vaginal Discharge Types

Discharge from the vagina is normal, and the type of vaginal discharge varies during the menstrual cycle. The vaginal discharge is clear or white in color. The consistency of the discharge also varies at different times of the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, the discharge may become white and stretchy. However, excessive thick white discharge or colored discharge (yellow, green, or brown) may indicate infections and vaginal spotting.
