Mucous of the cervix: Cervical can be a nuisance and sometimes gross. It can vary in volume, texture and consistency several times throughout the monthly ovulation cycle. Most of the time, clear cervical mucus is present and it serves several important functions. It helps to keepunwanteds such as germs out of the region of sensitive reproductive organs. And, it also helps to flush away bad stuff like bacteria.

Usually normal: Typically, that is a normal variation on cervical mucus.Normal cervical mucus can range anywhere from clear, to yellow, to whitish and can be affected by levels of hormones in your body. If you have other symptoms, though, like a fever or lower abdominal pain, you may want to get checked out. Yellow mucus in this setting can be gonorrhea or trichomoniasis, which need to be treated.
