Vaginal discharge is fluid that comes from the vagina. You might see this on the toilet paper when you wipe or in your underwear. Normal vaginal discharge has several purposes: cleaning and moistening the vagina, and helping to prevent and fight infections. It's normal for the colour, texture, and amount of vaginal discharge to change at different times of the month during a girl's menstrual cycle. But some changes in discharge may mean there is a problem. For some girls, it's normal to have a lot of vaginal discharge. They may even need to wear a pantiliner to keep their underwear dry. Other girls may not have much vaginal discharge at all. Vaginal discharge is a clear or whitish fluid that comes out of your vagina. Discharge is normal, but changes in the amount, consistency, colour or smell could indicate an infection or other problem.
