Vaginal discharge is perfectly normal and is sort of like a self-cleaning mechanism for your vagina. However, color, consistency, or odor changes may signal an issue like a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.

Stay proactive against infections by practicing good hygiene, opting for breathable cotton underwear, and steering clear of harsh soaps or douches that may disrupt your vaginal pH balance.

Consider integrating probiotic supplements, consuming a balanced diet rich in whole foods, and minimizing unnecessary antibiotic usage to support your vaginal flora.

If you notice a persistent, unpleasant odor, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Vaginal itching can be uncomfortable. Opt for gentle cleansing with mild soap and warm water, and avoid using scented products or harsh chemicals in the vaginal area.
