A member asked:

Please tell me, is white discharge normal 5 days after sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A white discharge can be normal almost any time during the menstrual cycle. It may not have anything to do with sex at all. If it itches, or has a bad odor, it's probably not normal. Best wishes!
