Clear Vaginal Discharge
A clear vaginal discharge sometimes appears unexpectedly, and it's easy to become concerned. Believe it or not, this is part of the way a healthy vagina cleanses itself. It can be clear or even milky, and doesn't have an unpleasant odor. This normal discharge can change in texture and color as a woman's body adapts throughout her regular cycle. If this healthy discharge ever becomes thick, develops an odor, or if vaginal irritation or itching occurs, then it's time to call the doctor. These are signs of vaginitis, which requires medical treatment. Learn more at: http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/women/reproductive/vaginal/194.html
