…and I would suspect a yeast infection but it’s usually clear. It’s just a lot. Why? What should I do about it?

Variations in vaginal discharge are natural. It is different for everyone, just like everyone’s vagina is different! Vaginal discharge is healthy; it’s your body’s way of cleaning the vagina and maintaining balanced pH levels. It’s great that you are examining your body and familiarizing yourself with your discharge. It sounds like your vaginal discharge is pretty consistent and healthy. Because you already know what your typical discharge is like, you’re more likely to notice if there are unusual changes or cause for concern in the future. Sudden changes in odor, texture, color and volume can often indicate infection. It’s best to talk directly to a health care provider if you have concerns so you can get personalized care and advice.
