A member asked:

Should i be worried about vaginal discharge? i had a c-section on march 5. in the last few days i've noticed a difference in discharge. it's yellow, thick and has a mucus-like consistency.

Vaginal : Vaginal discharge can vary depending on where you are in your cycle. If you have vaginal odor, pain, or irritation, then you may be dealing with an infectious process (bacteria or yeast). If any of these signs are present please consult your doctor. Take care.
