    How can I distinguish the normal vaginal discharge from a not normal?
    Hi,

    It's been quite a while that I experience vaginal discharged. I don't feel itchy in that area neither the burning sensation, but I noticed lately that I have been experiencing a vaginal discharged even right after my period and continuous. And I discharge more when I go to the bathroom. Can anyone tell me how can I distinguished the normal discharge from the not normal? The color of the discharge is white.

    Thanks for the help, I look forward that you guys can help me..

    Discharge will change throughout your cycle and as you get older.

    Wise to have any change checked, for the peace of mind if nothing else, but usually concerns would be if it were discolored, caused itching, or pain.

    If it is unusual for you, it wouldn't hurt to have it checked.

    There is no real normal. Everyone has a different normal. If you find this discharge abnormal for you then it wouldn't hurt to get it checked. It's a good sign that there is no burning/itching. Also check to see if the smell is bad, and for the texture of the discharge. Some STDs or infections have a white discharge that has a cottage cheese type texture. If in doubt, always go to the doctor.
