I’VE HEARD ABOUT VAGINAL DISCHARGE. WHAT IS IT?
The first thing to know is that every woman experiences vaginal discharge. And it really isn’t a big deal. It’s actually a good thing. This thin, light fluid contains old cells – so it’s really your body self-cleaning and taking care of itself by releasing old cells. The amount of discharge depends on the time of your menstrual cycle. It’s most common at the beginning and the end of your menstrual cycle. But if it causes irritation, pain or if you notice an odour, then you should consult your doctor as it may indicate a yeast infection.
Bleeding between your periods, or “spotting,” can occur for many reasons, often not serious.
Liners (also known as panty liners) are like a spare pair of panties that can be changed any time of the day.
It’s normal to have some yeast in your vagina, but sometimes the balance is lost and yeast overgrowth occurs.
