A member asked:

Is it normal to have a lot of discharge? i haven't had sex, but is it possible to have some kind of infection to cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Although a heavy vaginal discharge freq means infection, a discharge that is white or slight off white without itch or odor may be "normal physiologic" cervical mucus. Amount of discharge varies a lot from person to person and season to season.
