A member asked:

My vaginal discharge normal or abnormal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Every woman has vaginal discharge. The amount and consistency can change with the hormones through the month. Discharge is only abnormal if it burns, smells bad or is irritating. Some STDs such as chlamydia do not always cause a discharge so if you are worried you have gotten an std, you will need a urine or vaginal test done.
