How Much Is Vaginal Discharge 'Normal' Or A Danger Sign?

Vaginal discharge is part of female life, in some cases from birth. However, his role becomes more relevant when adolescence arrives; the moment when hormonal changes begin and the body of women are transformed.

Although it is present every day, this liquid still has some mysteries, one of them has to do with quantity: how much is "normal"? The amounts are maintained based on your menstrual cycle; in the middle of the cycle secretion increases and are generally transparent and elastic.

The specialists explained that at other times of the cycle, the flow can be milkier, but that you should be concerned when it is lumpy because it could be a yeast infection.

If the discharge is gray with a fishy odor, it can indicate bacterial vaginitis, while if it is heavy, gray, yellow, or green, it is a side effect of gonorrhea; a sexually transmitted disease so you should consult a gynecologist.

Experts also recommend women urinate before and after sex to help cleanse the opening of the urethra of bacteria.

This is because in a woman's anatomy the urethra, vagina, and anus are close together and sexual intercourse can cause anal bacteria to reach the bladder, where they can multiply and cause a urinary tract infection.

On the other hand, in men, there is a great distance between the anal area and the urethra, due to the length of the penis.

Sure you can experience excess vaginal discharge, but it could be due to a condition called leukorrhea, for which you should see a doctor. Nobody knows your body better than you!
