A discharge is when a woman has fluid running from the vagina. It can be smelly, make sex sore or urinating burn. If not treated, the germs can spread to the womb, causing pains in the lower tummy and can make it difficult to get pregnant. The same germs cause penis discharge in men that makes it sore to urinate. Gonorrhea, chlamydia or trichomoniasis (trich) are the germs that can cause vaginal or penis discharge.
