Vaginal discharge is completely normal, and is just an indicator of your cervix doing its job! There will be normal changes throughout your cycle with the amount/volume, texture, odor and color of this discharge. Many/most women experience discharge on a regular basis, but if the discharge is bothersome to you (in extreme amounts), or is noticeably different, it would not hurt to see a Gynecologist just to make sure you do not have an infection.
When to be concerned about amount/frequency of vaginal discharge?
