Is constant discharge normal

Answer 1

If you are talking about mucus discharge, and not blood, then YES. Your cervix is always producing mucus, and the amount differs for women, based on health, nutrition, and whether or not they are using an artificial Birth Control.

without it we would be dry and shriveled. ask any woman going through menopause - vaginal dryness is not fun.

Answer 2

All women are different and the amount also changes with the cycle. But as long as it doesn't smell bad and is chunky or you have pain, it's normal. Sometimes you need extra thin pads in your undies so it wont stain. That is normal too. There is no measured amount. The vaginal walls always secrete discharge in order to stay moist and healthy.

Answer 3

Yes, you're supposed to have vaginal discharge throughout your life starting from puberty because this is how the vagina stays clean and healthy. Discharge flushes out dead cells, is acidic to kill 'bad' bacterial while allowing 'good' bacteria to thrive, and lubricates vaginal walls.

Your discharge will change with hormonal changes, including experiencing fertile cervical mucus around a week leading up to ovulation, and you will get more discharge when aroused as this is one of the changes your body goes through to prepare for sex to avoid damage and increase pleasure.

As long as your discharge is not unusual it's okay, but if it is unusual it may be a sign of a vaginal infection: e.g. if discharge is excessive, an unusual texture such as watery or clumpy, an unusual color such as grey or green, or causes bad odour like a fishy odour.

Answer 4

There's no normal amount.. It differs from person to person. If you are extremely worried, see your doctor.
