The more your body changes, the more you notice the wetness and odor. You're not alone. Fact is, normal vaginal discharge is your body's way of cleansing itself. But there are lots of other reasons why you experience wetness:

Excess perspiration
Discharge from hormonal fluctuations
Your period
Sexual activity
Vaginal infections

What is normal?
Normal vaginal discharge is typically clear, milky white or slightly yellow and odorless. There is also no excessive itching or burning associated with it.

What is not normal?
If you find the odor is really offensive and is accompanied by abnormal discharge you may have an infection and should see your doctor.

This chart can help you identify what's going on. Use the chart for information. Only your doctor can properly diagnose and treat any of these infections:


Yeast Infection   Thick, white curd-like discharge
(similar to cottage cheese). Mild
to severe itching, redness &
irritation.
 		  Odorless.  
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)   Excessive white-grayish discharge with milk-like consistency. May have itching.
 		  Fish-like odor. May be
stronger during menstruation
or after sexual relations.
 		 
Trichomoniasis (Trich)   Profuse discharge, gray or
green-yellow. Itching & inflammation of vulva and vagina. 		  May have foul or fish-like
odor.
