Q: What is discharge and why do people with vaginas have discharge?

A: Vaginal discharge is a clear, white or off-white fluid that comes out of the vagina. The uterus, cervix and vagina produce vaginal discharge, which is mainly made up of cells and bacteria. It helps clean and lubricate your vagina, and helps fight off bad bacteria and infection. Discharge from your vagina is a natural and normal process. Changes in the color, texture, smell or amount of someone's typical vaginal discharge may mean there is a problem — this could be caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. Most causes of abnormal vaginal discharge are treatable with medication.
