What you need to know:
In reproductive-aged women, the common causes can be grouped into normal discharge (physiological), infective cause (sexually transmitted and non-sexually transmitted) and non-infective.
Normal (physiological) discharge is one that occurs in women of reproductive age and consists of about one-half to one teaspoon (2 to 5 mL) of white or clear, thick, mucus-like, and mostly odourless vaginal discharge every day.
