A137 Different types of vaginal discharge. What are they and what do they mean?

__Vaginal discharge typically appears clear in colour most of the month, but it can transform into a thick, white discharge at different times due to various factors. This discharge variation is simply our body's way of communicating with us, and sometimes the changes in discharge can even provide valuable insights into our health! Additionally, different types of discharge may occur depending on the underlying cause or stage of the menstrual cycle. Remember, in case of any concerns, please remember to consult a healthcare professional as a first step.__

As long as your discharge is not itchy, smelly, or greenish-brown coloured, it is perfectly normal. Signs to look out for are cramping, pelvic pain or bleeding during sex, spots, weight gain, fever, or – as mentioned earlier – strange smells. This may indicate an underlying medical condition or serious hormonal imbalance that requires treatment.

These include things such as ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome, and cervical cancer (infection should be in this list as would be most common). These are rarely the cause, and they are often accompanied by other symptoms, so please don’t worry, but it is always worth getting the opinion of a medical professional.

I'm looking for adaptive/flexible pantyliners.

Put quite straightforwardly, brown discharge is caused by bits of blood getting caught up in your discharge, leaving your body. Here is a list of possible reasons why you might be experiencing brown discharge every once in a while:

- __You Have Just Finished Your Period__ Thick brown discharge is often a sign that your body is cleaning itself by flushing out residual blood from your period. Bits may come out with your discharge in the days after you think your period has ended. Older blood tends to turn more brownish. You might see this during your period when the blood is a bright red in the first few days and becomes browner a few days in. See this as a positive thing, as it means that your body is doing a good job of keeping clean.

- __You Are About To Ovulate__ Brown sticky discharge can also occur due to the hormonal changes your body experiences during ovulation. Oestrogen levels rise, prompting your body to release an egg from your ovaries, so the change in discharge texture is completely normal.

- __It’s Not You, It’s Your Birth Control__ Random brown discharge can be your body’s reaction to a new birth control pill or you might have forgotten to take your pill for a few days recently. This is thanks to the hormonal changes, and the spotting should stop as your body adjusts. If you have forgotten to take your birth control pill it’s important to start taking it as soon as possible and consider emergency contraception if you have had intercourse.

- __Your Cervix is Irritated__ The cervix is fairly sensitive, so anything from a slightly careless pelvic examination to vigorous bedroom antics can be causes of brown discharge.

- __You Are Stressed or Depressed__ Stress and depression can cause the lining of the uterus to thin, and parts of it to come away at unexpected times. Try to identify and remove the cause of stress from your life. Take some time out to relax or, if it feels more serious, see a doctor about the way you are feeling. With the right self-care and support, this brown discharge should clear up.

A104 Is it normal to have a lot of vaginal discharge?

### When is clear vaginal discharge a cause for concern?

On its own, the answer is: generally hardly ever. The only times you may want to investigate further are if you are experiencing any other symptoms that are concerning you, alongside your clear discharge. These can include:

*   A change in the smell of your discharge, from a mild odour, to a strong, unpleasant, strong smell
*   Any itching or pain
*   Finding that sex has become painful
*   A significant increase in the amount of discharge for a prolonged period of time

If in doubt because of any of these – or if you spot something else you are worried about – speak to a doctor or visit a sexual health clinic. They are there to deal with any concerns and help you, so don’t be afraid to go along and voice what is worrying you.

### When is thick, white discharge not a good sign?

One type of change to keep an eye out for is if your discharge becomes white and clumpy and almost looks like cottage cheese. This change in appearance may also be accompanied by pain, itchiness, or an unpleasant odour.

This is generally a sign you may have an infection, or an STI. Another cause may be stress, as it is believed this can cause a hormonal imbalance, which in turn impacts on discharge.

At this stage, our advice is always to get it checked out by a doctor or other medical practitioner.

### What does creamy white discharge before period mean?

A creamy white vaginal discharge is a phenomenon many women notice at different phases of their menstrual cycle. Most often, it is a natural symptom of hormonal changes and is not a cause for concern. Creamy white discharge before a period is particularly common, occurring due to increased progesterone levels after ovulation. Its consistency usually becomes thick, pasty, or slightly sticky, while its colour takes on a whitish or milky shade. Such discharge plays an important role – it moisturises the vagina, protects against infections, and helps maintain the proper pH balance.

### What does a white discharge with no odour mean?

A white discharge without odour usually indicates healthy vaginal lubrication. This is perfectly healthy and should not be a cause for concern. However, if the discharge is thick and accompanied by other symptoms such as itching, burning or a change in colour, it is worth consulting your doctor.

### Does thick white discharge mean pregnancy?

Thick white discharge is not a specific symptom of pregnancy. However, some women may have increased vaginal discharge during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. If you suspect pregnancy, it is recommended that you take a pregnancy test and consult your doctor.

### Does white discharge mean pregnancy or period?

White discharge can occur both during pregnancy and during a period. However, the presence of white discharge alone is not a sufficient indicator of pregnancy or period. It is necessary to pay attention to other symptoms and perform appropriate diagnostic tests to confirm the possible condition. If you have doubts or concerns about your health, it is always best to consult your doctor.

Maybe you made a mistake counting the days since your last period, so you think why is my period delayed, when in fact, it’s right on schedule.

The average [menstrual cycle](/en-gb/period-hub/first-period-and-puberty/menstrual-cycle-phases) is 28 days. But most women’s cycles are slightly longer or shorter than this. If your period is just two days late, it may be a result of normal cycle fluctuations from month to month.

Many women have slightly irregular cycles with one month being on, say, a 27-day cycle and the following month a 29-day one. This means that if the previous month’s period came “early”, the next month may seem like it’s “late.” It happens to the best of us.

A045 - T04 - SUB02 -  Miscalculation or normal fluctuation?

2.  Miscalculation or normal fluctuation?

One common cause of late periods is [Polycystic Ovary Syndrome](/en-gb/period-hub/symptoms-explained/ovarian-cysts-causes-treatment-and-prevention/), aka PCOS, a condition that many women and girls experience.

This is when multiple follicular cysts form on the ovaries. These cysts contain eggs. PCOS is associated with hormonal disruption, which means the eggs may not be released, resulting in delayed, infrequent or absent periods.

PCOS is very common, and often the symptoms of PCOS can be managed with medication. Ask your doctor if you’re concerned.

What is Clear Stretchy Discharge a Sign of?

## Is It Normal To Have Discharge Every Day?

Some women have vaginal discharge every day, while others experience it only occasionally. Your discharge, its frequency, and the amount you experience will vary based on your normal hormonal fluctuations throughout the month, depending on where you are in your [menstrual cycle](/en-gb/period-hub/menstrual-cycle/how-to-calculate-your-menstrual-cycle/).

This means you may experience more discharge when you are ovulating, breastfeeding, or sexually aroused, while some days you will find a few drops in your underwear.

## What Does Normal Discharge Look Like?

Vaginal discharge can vary in consistency and colour. Sometimes it is clear, and sometimes it is milky white. Sometimes it is watery, and sometimes it has a more stretchy, egg white-like consistency. For instance, when it’s creamier and thicker, it’s usually a sign your period is coming. Oestrogen is being released as the body prepares itself for menstruation. All of this is normal.

Other types of discharge may be a sign that something isn’t quite right. If your discharge has a chunky consistency, is itchy, or is off-colour (think white with cottage cheese-like consistency, yellow or green), or has a new strong smell this is a sign of infection. A visit to your doctor will clear things right up, so it’s best to make an appointment as soon as you can.

## How Do You Get Rid Of Discharge?

There are times when it can be annoying to find that discharge has once again made its presence felt in your underwear. Therefore, it is only natural to wonder if there is some way to reduce or even prevent discharge.

But at these times it is a good idea to remember why you get discharge in the first place and know that Mother Nature is doing her thing for a reason! So, if what you are experiencing is healthy discharge, and you are after ways to stop discharge for an easier life, it is definitely time for a rethink.

If however, you have excessive discharge, it may be that you are suffering from one of a number of problems, and getting to the bottom of it will give you a way to reduce discharge. Some common causes of unusual vaginal discharge can be:

- Allergy: in all seriousness, your vagina may be allergic to something. So if you’ve noticed your body is producing too much discharge recently, have a think – have you changed anything such as your shower gel, washing up powder, or tampon brand lately?

- Contraception: Have you begun taking new contraceptive pills lately? The change in hormones can play all sorts of havoc with your discharge, but the good news is it should soon settle down again, so don’t worry unless this carries on for more than a few months.

- Sexually Transmitted Infection: A heavier discharge combined with any other symptoms – such as pelvic pain, odd smells, discolouration of the discharge – could be a sign of an STI, so it’s worth getting checked out by a medical expert.

- A Forgotten Tampon: Yep, that might sound daft, but if there is a foreign body stuck inside you, your body will be doing all it can to flush it out. The longer it is there, the more it may be contributing to any build-ups of bad bacteria, so the sooner you can remove it, the better!

Even if your discharge is normal and healthy, if it is leaving you feeling uncomfortable and damp, it’s perfectly normal to want to get rid of the discomfort. Luckily, [Always Dailies pantyliners](/en-gb/feminine-products/panty-liners/) are specifically designed to absorb daily vaginal discharge, helping you stay fresh and confident throughout the day.

Discharge is basically a fluid made in the cervix and vagina to keep everything down below clean and in working order. Just like your eye produces tears to rid itself of irritants, the vagina has glands that produce [discharge](/en-gb/period-hub/vaginal-discharge/is-it-normal-to-have-a-lot-of-discharge/) 

This way, harmful bacteria have a harder time getting through and causing irritation – or worse. Amazing vagina! This stuff also keeps the area moist, and even provides some help to the process of fertilisation – handy if you are trying to get pregnant!

## When to see your doctor

For the above reasons, one could conclude that a late period does not mean anything bad. In fact, in some cases it is perfectly normal. However, it is worthwhile in all cases to seek medical advice. Particularly if your period delay is repeated every month or if you have not had your period for two months. Rarely it can be a symptom of a serious illness, such as cancer or diseases of the reproductive system. Also, don't delay seeing your doctor if you have other complaints: severe pain, excessive hair loss, vaginal spotting, acne (which you cannot control), being overweight or underweight.

## What to do if your period is late

Always be prepared!

No one wants to toss their knickers in the bin because they’ve got a period stain on them.

Puberty, with its physical and emotional changes, can be a rollercoaster ride for girls, so it’s important to have honest and open conversations. How you explain puberty to your daughter will set the tone for the next few years (no pressure!).

While white-coloured discharge is totally normal, texture-wise it should be the same all the way through, without lumps – whether it is sticky, gooey, thin, elastic or thick. This alternative version with clumps in it is not so great, and is very rarely going to be a positive discovery. 

The closest thing we can compare it to is cottage cheese (and we’re so sorry if this puts you off your favourite jacket potato topping for life!) But if what you see in your underwear, or on the toilet paper when wiping after a trip to the loo, is thick curd-like discharge with white chunks in it, then that is what we are talking about here.

Other signs that you may have it include itching in the area, or some pain or swelling, and stinging during sex or having a wee. You might also notice a yeasty sort of smell in your underwear.

How To Explain Periods And Puberty To Your Daughter

Pregnancy mucus at the beginning of pregnancy is a purely physiological symptom. Discharge during early pregnancy occur very frequently and plays an extremely important role, as it forms a special protective barrier for both the foetus and the mother, protecting the reproductive tract from infection. Normal mucus at the beginning of pregnancy is transparent or slightly tinged white or yellow. It can be tractable or thinned. In addition, a mucus plug is formed at the beginning of pregnancy, which passes away before the birth.

__1. Chances are your vaginal discharge will get heavier during pregnancy__
The majority of women will find they experience an increase in thin, milky white, or clear discharge during pregnancy, which is perfectly normal. 

This is because it is even more important to your body than usual, to prevent any infection travelling up your vagina to your womb – and to the baby. This discharge acts as a barrier supporting good vaginal health, while maintaining the PH balance within.

__2. Don’t be concerned when the vaginal mucus plug appears!__ 
Your body creates something called a pregnancy mucus plug to seal off the cervix and prevent bacteria from getting in. This stays in place until your baby is due. It looks like a big lump of jelly-ish, thick discharge in pregnancy, sometimes with streaks of blood in it. It can be quite disconcerting to have this mucus plug pop out, but it is a sign that your cervix is starting to open, and you may soon be going into labour! Assuming you are nearing full term, the appearance of the mucus plug – or ‘show’ as it is also known – is nothing to worry about. Otherwise check with your doctor.

__3. Clear watery discharge during pregnancy is generally nothing to worry about__
The texture of discharge can vary from person to person, and watery clear vaginal discharge in pregnancy is normally fine. It can occasionally be a sign of an STI though, so if you have any signs such as unpleasant or strange smells, or itchiness or pain in the area, it is worth getting it checked out by your doctor.

__4.  Thrush is quite common in pregnancy – but won’t harm you or your baby__
Pregnancy hormones affect the pH in your vagina, making your more prone to yeast infections. But thrush is more a problem just for being unpleasant to deal with, so it is worth knowing the signs so you can deal with it ASAP. If you notice a yeasty smell, stinging pain when you go to the toilet, or thick white cottage cheese discharge during pregnancy, these all point to thrush. It is worth mentioning to your doctor. He or she will give you treatment – generally in the form of a tablet or cream – to clear up the infection.

__5. Always pantyliners can help you feel fresh all day everyday__
If the increase in discharge is causing you discomfort it is worth investing in a pack of Always Dailies pantyliners. Wearing them on a daily basis can soak up excess liquid, and keep you feeling dry and fresh. They are dermatologically tested and safe to be worn daily. That way you can focus on more important things – like enjoying your pregnancy!

Bloody Discharge – Should You Worry?

Stress can take a toll on your body. If you’ve been under an unusual amount of stress recently (Hello, exams! We’re looking at you!), it can throw off your hormone levels and influence the timing of your period. Intense stress interrupts the production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone - the hormone that regulates ovulation and the menstrual cycle. Disturbances in the production of this hormone delayed period. It is important to remember that prolonged stress as well as sudden and unexpected stress affect menstrual disorders - especially delayed menstruation.

If you suspect your period is delayed due to stress, try some relaxation techniques like breath focus to get back on track.

A045 - T04 - SUB03 - Stress

3. Stress

Don’t worry if you find you have white discharge after yeast infection treatment, as it may well just be parts of the medication leaving your body with your discharge. Alternatively, things may have returned to normal and you are just at a point in your cycle where white discharge is to be expected. 

Of course, if it is still lumpy or you are concerned that this is still a white yeast infection discharge, make a new appointment and go back to see your doctor with your concerns. 

A yellow discharge yeast infection is possible if your discharge naturally has a pale yellow or creamy tinge to it. But more likely than not, like a yeast infection with green discharge, it may signify that something else is going on (either as well as, or instead of a yeast infection). These colours generally tend to mean you have a bacterial infection or STI, and should get this looked at by a doctor, or at a sexual health clinic.

Pink discharge after yeast infection treatment may be a sign that the cream has irritated your vagina, causing a bit of bleeding that has mixed with your discharge. A small amount is not unusual, but if it continues, or if you are feeling raw or painful inside, do follow up with your doctor.

During breastfeeding you may have light periods, late periods or you may not have periods at all. When breastfeeding begins, a woman's body has high levels of prolactin, the hormone that makes milk appear in the breasts. Prolactin not only helps to feed the baby with natural food, but also inhibits ovulation, resulting in the stopping or delaying of menstruation.

Now you know what happens when your period is late – hopefully you feel more relaxed. Most of the time, hormone fluctuations that cause late periods will stabilise.

The amount of vaginal discharge, colour and consistency can vary considerably depending at which point in the menstrual cycle they are:

<ul>
  <li>Days 1-5: During the first few days of the menstrual cycle, the discharge is often red or blood coloured as the body removes the lining of the uterus.</li>
  <li>Days 6-14: Vaginal discharge after period may decrease. During this time, as the ovum begins to mature, the cervical mucus becomes cloudy and takes on a white or yellowish colour and may appear sticky.</li>
  <li>Days 14-25: In the period just before ovulation, the discharge becomes thinner and more slippery, resembling the consistency of the white of an egg. After ovulation, on the other hand, the mucus again becomes cloudy, taking on a white or yellow colour, and may be sticky or viscous.</li>
  <li>Days 25-28: In the days leading up to the next menstrual period, cervical mucus becomes lighter and may decrease in quantity.</li>
