05 Aug Vaginal discharge!!!
Vaginal discharge tends to be a real problem in our society considering the unwillingness to discuss such by people affected due to some sort of shame and stigma leading to prolong duration of such without adequate care and leading to further complications ranging from depression to
infertility which could be abated if affected persons seek care early.
Vaginal discharge is a fluid or semisolid substance that flows out of the vaginal opening.
Most women have vaginal discharge to some extent, as the vaginal walls and uterine cervix, contain glands that produce a small amount of fluid that helps to lubricate and keep the vagina clean. This normal vaginal discharge is typically clear and does not have an unpleasant odor, a small amount of vaginal discharge is a reflection of the body’s normal cleansing process hence described as Normal vaginal discharge. The amount and type of vaginal discharge also varies among women and with the woman’s menstrual cycle.
A change in vaginal discharge (such as an abnormal odor, color or increase in amount), or the presence of vaginal discharge associated with irritation or other uncomfortable symptoms, can signal that an infection is present.
A number of different infections and factors can cause a change in the amount, consistency, or color which may range from clear to gray, yellow, greenish, or milky-white and may have an unpleasant smell. The symptoms and character of vaginal discharge depend upon the specific condition that is the cause of the discharge, such as Gonorrhea, yeast infection etc.
All hope is not lost for females with such discharge as treatment options remain readily available and prevention achievable.
