Vaginal discharge is fluid secreted from tiny glands in the vagina and cervix. This fluid leaks from the vagina each day to remove old cells and debris, keeping the vagina and reproductive tract clean and healthy.
The amount of vaginal discharge can vary significantly from person to person. The color, consistency, and amount can also change from day to day, depending on where a person is in their menstrual cycle.
Discharge fluid can be several things, including: (2)
Cervical mucus A clear liquid or gel-like fluid that is produced by the cervix and changes over the course of your menstrual cycle or during pregnancy
Arousal fluid Produced from glands in and around the vagina when sexual arousal occurs. The fluid lubricates the vagina and dissipates usually within an hour of arousal.
Seminal fluid A man's sperm along with other fluids. It can appear as vaginal discharge if you had intercourse within the last day — seminal fluid can stay in the vagina for hours after intercourse.
