A member asked:
For what reasons might the body make white discharge when you get a yeast infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Some of the discharge is the overgrowth of the yeast organisms. Some of the discharge is the white blood cells that the body sends to fight the infection. Some of the discharge is the increased fluid leaking from the irritated walls of the vagina.
