Vaginal discharge is a combination of fluid and cells continuously shed through your vagina. The amount, color, and consistency of normal vaginal discharge vary from whitish and sticky to clear and watery depending on the stage of your reproductive (menstrual) cycle. Vaginal discharge serves an important housekeeping function in the female reproductive system. Fluid made by glands inside the vagina and cervix carries away dead cells and bacteria. This keeps the vagina clean and helps prevent infection.
