Can be: The vaginal milieu in every woman is unique. Often women have a similar description of their discharge that persists for months/years and this is their baseline. Sometimes, they have change in discharge with foul odor, increased secretions with change in color that can be due to an infection from yeast or other microbes. If your current discharge isn't a bother, let it be for now. Best wishes. DrM
