A member asked:

Can an increase in clear vaginal discharge mean infection?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Possibly, yes: Any abnormal or new vaginal discharge should be professionally evaluated. There are several possible causes, and clear discharge makes infection less likely than colored, white, or gray. But better safe than sorry, especially if you are sexually active and maybe at risk for STDs.
