Vaginal Odor And Discharge: Whats Abnormal? by HelpeeDeck(m): 8:24pm On Jul 30, 2015
If you are responsible and sensible when you see this you will not insult the writer

In most cases, vaginal discharge is a normal part of a woman's reproductive system. Fluid from glands inside the vagina and cervix carries away dead cells and bacteria. This keeps the vagina clean and helps prevent infection.

The smell and amount of discharge can vary from woman to woman, and the normal colour can range from clear to a milky whitish at different times during the menstrual cycle.There may be more discharge if you are ovulating, breastfeeding, or sexually aroused. The smell may be different if you are pregnant.If the colour, smell, or consistency seems different to normal, or if there is also itching or burning, seek medical advice as this could indicate an infection or other problem.

What causes abnormal discharge?

Any change in the balance of normal bacteria in the vagina can affect the smell, colour, or texture of the discharge. These are a few of the things that can upset that balance:

1. Antibiotic or steroid use

2. Bacterial vaginosis, which is a bacterial infection that’s not sexually transmitted, but more common in women who have multiple sexual partners

3. Birth control pills

4. Cervical cancer

5. Chlamydia or gonorrhoea, which are sexually transmitted infections

6. Diabetes

7. Scented soaps or lotions, bubble bath

8. Trichomoniasis, which is a parasitic infection typically caused by having unprotected sex

9. Vaginitis, which is irritation in or around the vagina
