Hi there,

This might be a bit of a disappointing answer, since we can’t diagnose you online. Changes in vaginal discharge can be simply part of the body’s normal variation, or they can be caused by an infection. If this discharge is unusual for you, it is worthwhile getting a check up with a healthcare provider to find out what is causing it. You can go see you regular doctor if you have one, or you can use our clinic finder to find a nearby place to get a check up.
