Anonymous asked: Hey, I have to wear pads in my undies everyday because there is a lot of white liquid coming out of my vagina everyday. is that normal?
Starting around puberty, estrogen and progesterone, the two main hormones associated with menstrual cycles, will increase and start your body doing all sorts of new stuff. One thing that happens is that your vagina starts to make discharge - a fluid that comes from the cervical opening (the opening to the uterus), the vaginal walls, and some vaginal & vulvar glands.
Some people have a LOT of vaginal discharge daily, some people don’t have much. During sexual arousal, the amount and consistency of vaginal discharge changes, becoming slicker and more copious as most of it comes from extra blood flow to the vaginal canal, making it swollen and letting extra fluid ooze through the vaginal walls.
Your vaginal discharge will keep coming throughout the day even if you’re not aroused, but it is much less. The smell, texture, and color will change throughout the month:
Times when vaginal discharge is a problem: If you’re having itching, burning, pain, or bad smell. Sometimes the color will changes when you have an infection, but that’s not always an indication that you have one.
The two most common vaginal infections (that are not sexually transmitted):
Yeast infection: usually itchy, sometimes it burns. Thick white discharge, commonly described as “cottage-cheese-like”.
Bacterial vaginosis: usually burning/painful, rarely itchy. Thin clear/grey/green-ish copious vaginal discharge, almost always with a strong ‘fishy’ odor.
If you think you have a vaginal infection, go see a healthcare provider!
