Normal discharge is odorless. It is white or transparent, thick and sticky, or slippery and stretchy.

Unusual discharge can indicate:

- bacterial vaginosis (discharge has a fishy odor)

- a yeast infection (discharge is clumpy like cottage cheese)

- trichomoniasis (discharge is yellow/greenish and foamy).

Be sure to consult a specialist if you are experiencing:

- an atypical increase in the amount of discharge

- changes in colour, smell, or texture of discharge

- bloody discharge

- genital skin irritation, itching or burning

- lower abdominal pain while urinating
