VAGINAL DISCHARGE

Increased circulation to the yoni and birth canal can also increase the amount of discharge present.

Recommended: Change underwear as often as needed or wear a pad; Staying dry can decrease the chance of yeast or bacteria growing; rinse the yoni gently and dry thoroughly after using the bathroom.

Note: If the discharge smells fishy, sour, sweet, yeast-like, or looks gray, yellow, creamy, or curd-like, an organism may have overgrown. See the “Vaginal Infections” section and consult a health professional.
