Vaginal Discharge
Most women experience minor vaginal problems from time to time. These problems can be related to menstrual cycles, sex, infection, birth control methods, aging, medicines, or changes after pregnancy.
A change in your normal vaginal discharge may be the first sign of a vaginal problem. Changes in urination, such as having to urinate more frequently or burning when you urinate, also may be a symptom of a vaginal problem.
Conditions that may cause a change in your normal vaginal discharge include:
* Infections of the vagina, such as a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, human papillomavirus (HPV), or herpes.
* Infection of the cervix (cervicitis).
* An object in the vagina, such as a forgotten tampon.
* Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.
* Various sex practices, such as oral-to-vaginal and anal-to-vaginal contact.
* Vaginal medicines or douching.
