Is vaginal discharge normal in women? Yes, allocation is the norm!
That's right, normally a woman should have secretions!
The amount is 2-5 ml per day.
Color is clear and white.
Odor - slightly acidic, sometimes with a slight hint of garlic.
The discharge does not cause discomfort within the normal range! That is, they are not accompanied by itching, heartburn or other unpleasant sensations!
Not normal - if there is a lot of discharge, they are yellow, green, brown, or bloody in the non-menstrual period (minor bloody discharge is allowed during ovulation). Also, the discharge should not foam!
If the discharge is accompanied by severe discomfort: heartburn, itching, a feeling of heat, swelling and redness, a pronounced, unpleasant smell appears, or you notice the appearance of bloody discharge after intercourse, in this case, you should consult a doctor!
Remember that during ovulation, the secretions become more, they change texture - that is, they become more viscous. But again, they do not bring unpleasant sensations.
