Watery discharge in women: causes and management

Watery discharge from vaginal opening is an issue many women suffer from but are

 hesitant to talk about. Well, there is nothing to be embarrassed about as it is very 

important to understand our bodies in order to distinguish between what is worrisome 

and what is not.

Clear and essentially odorless discharge from vagina is totally normal. It is indeed a 

healthy sign and indicates that your body is working well. This type of discharge is

 not associated with itchiness, burning sensation or pain. A clear, watery discharge

 helps to maintain the normal pH levels of your vagina and provides a friendly environment

for growth of bacteria and yeast.

You may find that this kind of discharge increases during Ovulation, during pregnancy,

 after intercourse. Watery discharge during periods might hint towards:

Fibroids

Hormonal imbalances

An STD

Polyps

In case of normal, wet, watery discharge there are no other associated symptoms.
