Is it normal to have vaginal discharge for no reason?!
Question: Glands inside your vagina and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the vagina each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the vagina. This is your body's way of keeping your vagina healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.
The color and thickness of the discharge change with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), when a woman is breastfeeding or when you're sexually excited.
Changes that may signal a problem include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your vagina. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem. Some other types of infections such as yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis can also cause discharge that is usually accompanied by odor such as beer/yeast/fish.
I would recommend that if you have any of these signs or any concerns regarding this you consult with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and for proper treatment should you have anything other than just a normal vaginal discharge.
Good luck :)

Yes it is! Most women have it, but if it is really stinky or yellow then you might want to check with the doctor.
Yes. It might just mean that you're ovulating.
It is always for a reason, it cleans it out
Yes, it's normal. Most women do get their vaginal discharge. It's does keep vagina clean. If any other reasons, check with doctor.
yes dont worry every women gets it!!
Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is A LOT of mucous produced, up to 30X more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.
The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor.
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.
Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.
Clear to thin white discharge is normal as this is the cleaning mechanism for the vagina. If the discarge is itchy, thick and clumpy or smells fishy or is green , yellow or reddish brown then you have an infection or another problem that you need to see a doctor about.
totally normal. your vagina is like, "a self cleaning oven." the discharge is your body getting rid of unneeded things to keep you healthy.
yes it is don't worry about. if its a brown or greenish color I would reccommend seeing a doctor about it.
Yes. Once you start puberty, it's normal to have a white or clear discharge as the vagina is self-cleaning and your homones are working. The discharge increases when you are aroused.
