Hi Anon,

Thank you so much for choosing the EmpowHER community and sharing your question. White liquid is known as vaginal discharge and it is completely normal. There's no way to stop it. 

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), "having some amount of vaginal discharge is normal, especially if you are of childbearing age. Glands in the cervix produce a clear mucus. These secretions may turn white or yellow when exposed to the air. These are normal variations."

Vaginal discharge is normal. However, there are instances when the discharge may change color, shape or odor. The changes could be the result of an infection in which case you should contact your health care professional.

You should see your health care professional immediately if you have any of the following symptoms:

• Strong odor

• Pain with sexual intercourse

• More discharge than usual

• Pain in the pelvic (lower belly) area

• Thick, white discharge

• Itching or pain around the vagina

• Green or yellow discharge

Anon, I hope this answered your question.

Best,

Kristin
