doc I often experience vaginal discharge... is this normal, or does it have something to do with reproductive health?

Vaginal discharge is completely normal and is a healthy part of your reproductive system. It helps to keep the vagina clean and free of infections. The amount and consistency of discharge can vary throughout your menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. For example, it may be thicker or more abundant during ovulation, and it may change in color and consistency during different phases of your cycle. If your discharge has changed significantly in color, consistency, or smell, or if you’re experiencing any discomfort, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any infections or reproductive health issues. A simple exam and tests can help determine the cause.
