Vaginal discharge is a clear or whitish fluid that comes from your vagina (an opening between your legs). This type of discharge is healthy and normal. It keeps the vagina from drying out and helps prevent infection. When you notice it in your underwear (a creamy white stain) for the first time, it usually means your first period is coming soon. If you have any discharge that is thick, yellowish or darker, smells unpleasant or causes itching or burning, it could be a sign of a vaginal infection. Check with your doctor. Most vaginal infections can be easily treated. The information being provided does not substitute for medical advice from your doctor or care giver.
