Hello, lovely ladies! 👋 It's Dra. Sonia Santos-Marcelo, your OBGYN, here with a quick and important trivia question!
True or False: Vaginal discharge is always a sign of an infection.
Think about it for a moment...

The answer is FALSE!
That's right! Many women experience normal, healthy vaginal discharge as part of their body's natural cleansing process. Its appearance, consistency, and amount can vary throughout your menstrual cycle and even during different life stages.
However, changes in discharge can sometimes indicate an infection or other health concerns. It's important to know what's normal for you and to consult your OBGYN if you notice any unusual changes like:
A strong, unpleasant odor
Significant changes in color (green, gray, yellowish)
Itching, burning, or discomfort
Foamy or cottage cheese-like texture
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Your vaginal health is a key part of your overall well-being! ❤️
