Many possibilities: Vaginal discharge will change throughout the menstrual. On the other hand, it can indicate infection. Vaginal odor can be a sign of bacterial vaginosis. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. It is a good idea to get checked out.
