Vaginal discharge
What’s normal
It is normal to have some vaginal discharge, because the vagina stays moist as part of its self-cleansing mechanism. The normal moist discharge clears dead cells and bacteria from the vagina. It comes mainly from glands in the cervix (the neck of the womb), and is slightly acidic, which helps to keep infections at bay. The acidity results from lactic acid, formed by friendly bacteria as they break down sugars.
On average, a woman discharges from her vagina about 2 grams of dead cells and about 3 grams of mucus every day, but the amount of normal discharge varies from woman to woman, and with the menstrual cycle. Many women notice that, during the week following a period, there is hardly any discharge, and what there is has a thick consistency. Towards the middle of the cycle (about 2 weeks after the start of a period) the amount increases and it becomes thin, slippery and clear, like uncooked egg white. When this discharge is exposed to the air, it becomes brownish-yellow, so it is normal to find a yellowish stain on your knickers in the middle of the monthly cycle. There may also be a feeling of moistness and stickiness. Normal discharge does not smell, and does not cause any irritation or itching.
Discharge also increases during pregnancy. And during sexual excitement, vaginal discharge becomes very profuse because two glands near the vaginal opening (Bartholin's glands) secrete additional slippery mucus, which acts as a lubricant for intercourse.
What’s not normal
A discharge is likely to be abnormal if:
- it smells fishy
- it is thick and white, like cottage cheese
- it is greenish and smells foul
- there is blood in it (except when you have a period)
- it is itchy
- you have any genital sores or ulcers
- you have abdominal pain or pain on intercourse
- it started soon after you had unprotected sex with someone you suspect could have a sexually transmitted infection.
Causes of abnormal vaginal discharge
| Type of discharge | Possible causes |
|---|---|
| Thick and white | Normal in some women |
| Thrush (Candida infection) | |
| Itchy | Thrush (Candida infection) |
| Trichomoniasis | |
| Smelly | Bacterial vaginosis |
| Trichomoniasis | |
| Gonorrhoea | |
| Forgotten tampon |
Bacterial vaginosis is a very common cause of vaginal discharge. The discharge smells fishy. You will find more information about bacterial vaginosis in the section on genital infections.
Thrush is caused by the yeast Candida albicans. The main symptom of thrush is itching, but it can cause a thick, whitish discharge. You will find more information about thrush in the section on genital infections.
Forgotten tampons. ‘Lost’ tampons are quite a common cause of discharge. It is easy to forget to remove the last tampon at the end of a period. After a week or two, the tampon begins to fester, and there will be a foul-smelling discharge.
If you have an old tampon in place, remove it as soon as possible. If your discharge continues for more than a couple of days, see your doctor or visit a genitourinary medicine clinic.
Gonorrhoea is one of the most infectious sexually transmitted infections. It is caused by infection with the Gonococcus bacterium. If a woman has unprotected sex with a man who has it, she has a 60-90% chance of catching it. It is serious because if it is not treated, it can spread upwards to the Fallopian tubes. These tubes carry the egg from the ovary to the womb (uterus), so damage to them can cause infertility. About one-fifth of women with gonorrhoea have a foul-smelling, greenish-yellow discharge. About one-fifth have vague symptoms, such as a slight increase in discharge, pain on intercourse or lower abdominal discomfort. About one-fifth have no symptoms at all. (Most men with gonorrhoea notice an obvious discharge from the penis.) You will find more information about gonorrhoea in the section on genital infections.
Trichomoniasis is caused by a tiny amoeba-like (protozoan) organism called Trichomonas vaginalis. It used to be common, but for mysterious reasons is becoming less so; over the last 10 years the number of cases in England and Wales has fallen from 17 000/year to 5000/year. It causes a discharge that is often frothy and yellowish-greenish, but it may be thin and scanty. The discharge is smelly, and the vulva is often itchy and sore. It may also be painful to pass urine. It is caught from a man who has it, but he may be unaware of his condition as most men with trichomoniasis do not have any symptoms. It is not dangerous, though some doctors think it could possibly spread to the Fallopian tubes. You will find more information about trichomoniasis in the section on genital infections. If you think you have this infection, you should visit a genitourinary medicine clinic for treatment and to be checked for other infections.
What to do if you have vaginal discharge
- For any vaginal problem, you must take care to avoid substances that may cause more irritation. These are the same as those that can cause vulval irritation, so look at the list of dos and don’ts for vulval problems.
- During a period, change tampons or sanitary pads frequently (at least two or three times a day), and do not use tampons when you are not having your period.
- Talk to your partner. Ask if he has any discharge from the urethra (the opening at the end of the penis) or any soreness or irritation of the penis. If his answer is ‘yes’, or if there is any reason to think that he might have a sexually transmitted infection, he should go to a genitourinary medicine clinic for a check-up. Do not have sex until the problem has been sorted out.
- If your discharge is thick and white and itchy, it may be thrush, so you could try an anti-thrush cream or tablet from a pharmacist. However, do not persist with an anti-thrush cream from the pharmacist if it does not resolve the problem in a day or two, or if the discharge returns. Look at the information about thrush in the genital infections section, then see your doctor or go to a clinic to get a proper diagnosis.
- The best plan is to see your family doctor or go to a genitourinary medicine clinic for a check-up. The clinic can do on-the-spot-tests for most causes of vaginal discharge, and you can attend without being referred by your family doctor. You should definitely go to a genitourinary medicine clinic if you think that you might have a sexually transmitted infection (for example if you have had unprotected sex with a new partner, or if your partner has discharge or soreness of his penis).
How your doctor or the clinic can help with vaginal discharge
Usually, the doctor will look at the vulva for any signs of thrush, and will then insert a hollow plastic or metal tube (speculum) into the vagina, in order to look at your vagina (rather like having a smear). Samples of the discharge can be taken by wiping with cotton-wool swabs.
A family doctor will usually have to send the swabs to a laboratory, so it may be some days before the result is available. A sexual health clinic can look at the samples under the microscope straight away, and can usually tell you the diagnosis within half an hour, though they are also sent to the main laboratory for confirmation. Do not be surprised if you see the doctor or nurse testing the acidity of the discharge with litmus paper, or mixing some of it with a liquid (potassium hydroxide) on a glass slide and then sniffing it; these are tests for bacterial vaginosis.
Each cause of vaginal discharge has its own proper treatment, which could be a cream or tablet, and it is important to follow the treatment instructions from your doctor or the clinic very carefully. If you are asked to return for another check-up, it is important that you do so, even if the discharge has gone. The clinic may be checking for gonorrhoea, which can damage your Fallopian tubes and infect a future sexual partner without you having any further symptoms.

Posted by erika on 01/02/2010 at 01:11:00 am
Ive read through a lot of the comments in hopeful search for my problem, but not too many answers. I have had an excessive amount of discharge since about year before i got my period when i was ten. it has been an ongoing problem for quite some time. My undergarments most always feel wet, and its really disturbing, it makes it embarrassing to let a sexual partner go down there so at most times i try to avoid that from happening. what is my problem and how can i lessen the amount of discharge that i am producing?

I have had really foul smelling discharge for last few days and a wierd pain in my abdonomum. i also feel a slight burning sensation when i feel i need to do a wee (not when i actually do one). Went doctors and explained symptoms. she confirmed i had cystitus by doing a urine test, but she is convinced i have thrush. as far as i know, thrush doesnt smell - vaginal bacterios smells, and thats what i told her i thought it was. she said no - its thrush, and pescribed me with fluconazole 150g capsule. she also gave me co-amoxiclav for the cystitus. can thrush smell? i am convinced its the other thing. she said to go back in 7 days if theres no improvement. is she right????

I have had a swab at the doctors because of discharge and the test came back saying there was no bacterial infection. My discharge is quite like the ones listed here and smells quite bad. Is this natural? I really want it to go away!!!

about a month ago i had a weird problem with my discharge. i masturbate and normally if i'm aroused it is easy for me to do so, but a month ago when i would masturbate it would be a little dry and my discharge was a little cottage-cheesy. but there was little discharge. i called my doc and she immediately said that it was a yeast infection. i bought 3 day monostat and it took care of it. i had no other symptoms, no burning itching smell, barely any pain at all (i think the minor pain was because it was so dry). the monostat helped. a month later, i have the same problem so i saw my doc and she gave me a yeast infection pill. the pill should work in 24 hours she said, and she gave me a second pill to take in a week if it came back. but i took the first pill and my discharge was normal for a few hours and it went back to the way it was. i really want to know what this is. i still ahve one pill i have to take in a few days, but i'm really upset by this. no discharge is very odd for me, i am normally always... discharged. there is no smell, no pain, no anything. except that i cannot get wet. help !

I was with my ex partner for 4 years, i was on the pill so we were having unprotected sex all the time, we eventually split as i thought he was cheating on me, turned out he must have been as i had caught an STD of him, which was chlamaydia, i was gutted, had that treated but now i have developed a thick stringy discharge that smells unpleasant, now thinking i still may have another STD of him, Gonorrhoea?? I have had this for a while now growing concerned as im scared to 4 play now. What is the best cure for this?

Hi - I was diagnosed with extensive endometriosis in 2005 and have had a number of operations to improve my quality of life. However one thing I have noticed is that my discharge discolours my under wear to the point that it looks as if someones poured bleach on it - is this normal?
Posted by Rebecca on 09/09/2009 at 07:59:00 pm
I'm so relieved I looked on this website. I've been really freaked out for the last couple of days because of this revolting smelling vaginal discharge I've had. It was so embarrassing having sex with my boyfriend last night because of the overwhelming smell. So I looked on-line and found this site. I saw the info about 'lost' tampons. I have never forgotten to take out a tampon in all my years of periods, so I thought it an unlikely cause. Anyway, I went to the loo and checked. There was one there. It must have been there for a good five days. I'm really shocked and embarrassed but SO GLAD I've found out what was causing the smell. Thank you embarrassing problems people!

I have never had sex before. Lately i have been having a thick, greenish discharge. I don't understand what it is because it seems like all the things that cause that are from sex. I'm pretty worried. It itches a little but not really bad. I've had a yeast infection before but that looked more yellowy and smelled bad. This doesn't seem to have a smell and again doesn't itch a whole lot. Can anyone help me out??

Posted by Anonymous on 07/08/2009 at 02:45:00 pm
to marquez, if you are having unprotected sex you will pass the thrush onto your boyfriend, he may have little or no symptoms but will pass it back to you for sure, so thats why you keep getting infections best for him to get a pill from the doc like flucol best way to get rid of it quickly. make sure he gets treated or you will keep getting it, if you see your own doc they might prescribe the medicine to you for both of you. i really dont know why doctors dont point out that couples can pass it back and forth, would save a lot of women undue discomfort. use condoms or abstain till you both clear
Posted by marquez on 03/08/2009 at 07:24:00 pm
Hello, Since I have had sexual relations with my boyfriend without using a comdon I have had thrush 4 times, within one year. I am worried I am too sensitive, or we have a problem together. Also, something that not sure it is related, when he eyaculated inside me, it feels a burning sensation, like fizziness for like half an hour or so. Then is fine. This does not hapen all the times, but quite a few times. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, r

so i've had Vaginal discharge since about the time i started puberty. & i thought it was normal, or told my self that because i was to nervous to tell anyone. it doesn't smell or anything that i can notice. & its normally pretty clear & thin. on my undies it can turn sort of yellowish. the main reason im starting to worry is because im starting to have some problems down there. last year i had a sore & got this cream that fixed it. but now it feels like i have a yeast infection. could any of these symptoms be related? what can i do about stopping the discharge? ps. i have never had sex or have anything besides a tampon down there.

Posted by anonymous on 19/07/2009 at 06:46:00 pm
I am 31 and one week ago had unprotected sex and his semen went inside. Since then I have been having a foul (slightly fishy) smelling discharge that is light yellow in color. It was really bad the first two days, but has not been quite as bad since, but still have a lingering. No other symptoms (pruitis, redness, lesions, or constitutional symptoms) are present. Just the slightly colored and slightly odored discharge. Do I have BV or could this be a symptomatic G/C or something? I just want to have more of an idea before I go to the Gyn...

I Have Had My Period About 2 Weeks Ago, And For The Past 3-4 Days I Have Had A Smal Amount Of Blood In My Discharge, And Thats Never Happened Before. What Shall I Do Or What Could It Mean?
Posted by Anonymous on 15/06/2009 at 04:19:00 pm
So...hey, yeah. About..3 months ago, I lost my virginity to my now ex boyfriend. He wasn't a virgin when we got together, but I knew he'd been safe. About..a week ago though, we had sex again, but this time he told me he had took his condom off halfway, stupid, hence the breakup, I can't trust him. I don't know why on earth he did it. Anyway...I was on my periods during the time and my periods are usually really strong and go on for a while (3-5 days). My period soon stopped after this though. I'm not exactly worried about that. Well I lie. I am. How soon after can you find out you're pregnant. Thats not the biggest worry though. I've recently gotten really smelly, clear discharge and it feels weird after I've peed. I looked this up as soon as I realised and apparently I could have an STI. Could I? And I'm scared I'm pregnant. I'm due to get my period in a couple weeks. I'm scared. Can someone please help?

i'm fifteen years old and i haven't had sex yet. however, for the past year or so i've been getting a thick white or yellow smelly discharge which really strongly smells like fish. i'm really paranoid about it so i wash thoroughly everyday and often i have to change my knickers twice or more to try and cover the smell. i'm too embarrassed to talk to my mum or doctor about it but i really want to sort it out ... especially as i have a boyfriend now which is making me even more paranoid about him being able to smell it. please help me ... any suggestions ?

Hi, I had a baby in 2005 and used the depo injection for the last three years. I stopped the injection 8 months ago and have suffered from alot of discharge since, I have been given the all clear from the Gum clinic, so wanted to know if the discharge was a side effect from the injection?? I am having to wear pads everyday.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/05/2009 at 07:03:00 pm
My doctor, 8 months ago, thought I had a yeast infection, which turned out to not be the case. Then several months after that, I came back in because I still had the same symptoms. She took a vaginal culture and said that everything was negative. I then went back in again after the symptoms still persisted. These ongoing symptoms have been: itching (vulva and sometime butt area) and watery milky white discharge, sometimes accompanied by pain in my vaginal wall. The strange part about it though is that I the itching etc. intensifies during different parts of my cycle. Usually the week after my period there are no or very little symptoms. I am now 3 months into taking birth control again. I had been on it since I was 16 (and am now 25) and went off for about 6 months (starting about 9 months ago). After three months of being off of the pill these symptoms appeared. Could this be tied to hormones?

Posted by Anonymous on 02/04/2009 at 12:25:00 pm
I work for a company that sells a product called Balance Activ, a treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) that you can buy without a prescription. As I work for this company I won't say any more about it - Google it if you want more info and make up your own minds. I just feel so passionately about the subject and want to help! Lots of the posts here talk about a terrible odour, which is one of the symptoms of BV. BV is a very common problem, yet I'd never heard of it before I started working on this product. BV is not caused by poor hygiene and its not a sexually transmitted disease, its just an imbalance in the vagina. Many women find its triggered around their period (another blessing Mother Nature bestowed upon us...). For a proper diagnosis you should see a doctor - if you don't want to see your usual GP/nurse, consider your local GUM clinic - they are the experts in more than STDs, and could really help you find out what is causing your individual problem. I talk to lots of doctors and nurses at these clinics and they really don't judge you, and they work really hard at trying to make you not feel embarassed.

I have a very embaressing problem which I built up the courage to speak with my GP about and was told "oohh book an apt with the nurse for that sort of thing" so now i am too embaressed to have to say it all again.. so i guess it's easier to see if i can gain some help from here! I have been having an awful lot of discharge for some time, ( up to 6 months - 1 year) and in recent months i have noticed this discharge to become on a day to day basis! - and it is a very embaressing smell. The discharge is sometimes clear slime and smells like metal? a very strong awful smell... other times it's a yellowy slime? its disgusting! and i want rid of it now!!!! it's embaressing... i know others around me can smell it too and i just need it to go away asap!! please help!

Hi. I have a smelly vaginal discharge. It is not extremely strong, but it is enough to make me very paranoid. I have been to the sexual health clinic twice and asked them to test me for STI's and both test have come back negative. I think they may have just tested for herpes, hiv and clymidia though because no swab was taken. What could I have? Should I go to the sexual health clinic again and ask them for more tests?

What about if the dishcharge smells vinegary? I've had a dishcharge for as long as I can remember and have had various tests, but nothing has ever been found, except ocassionally Thrush.
