The fluid that comes out of the vagina, vaginal fluid, is completely natural and, in fact, is known to keep the organ clean and infection-free. "Discharges help your vaginal tissues stay healthy, provide lubrication and keep your vagina clean," added Ayurvedic expert Dr Nitika Kohli.
However, women may experience different colors, textures, and amounts, depending on their age, menstrual cycle, or an underlying health condition. As such, it's normal to wonder if your discharge is normal or needs to be checked.
Sharing the reasons behind the color of vaginal discharge, Dr Kohli said that "discharge color can still be a signal that something is wrong down there".
Thick, white
According to the expert, thick and white discharge is normal. However, it can indicate a possible yeast infection if it is accompanied by itching, burning and irritation.
Yellow
Consult an expert in case of a yellow discharge as it is "abnormal" and a sign of a bacterial infection.
Coffee
If you have brown vaginal discharge, it may be caused by irregular menstrual cycles. "If brown discharge continues to occur, it could be a sign of uterine or cervical cancer," she said.
Green
Green vaginal discharge is not normal and "is a sign of bacterial infection or sexually transmitted infection," Dr Kohli explained.
The Ayurvedic expert further added that "symptoms of yeast infection include a thick, white, curd-like discharge along with itching, redness, irritation and burning sensation."
It is advisable to immediately consult a doctor if your vaginal secretions have an unusual smell or appearance.
