This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 23-year-old female. I have been experiencing white discharge per vaginum for the past 10 to 15 days. It started before my periods, but was fine during that time; even after my periods continued, it is still there. It is slightly thick, not foul-smelling, and there is no itching as such, just intermittent discharge throughout the day. I am not sexually active. I can feel episodes of the discharge happening. What can I do about it?

Thank you.
