discharge — what’s healthy?

Posted by hannahhudakk @hannahhudakk, Jun 12, 2023

hello! i am 17 and am a little confused about my discharge, what’s considered normal? right now, i am ovulating and sometimes when i wipe, there is pale yellow discharge. it does not smell strong and i have no other symptoms surrounding my vaginal health. is this considered normal because i’m ovulating? or should i be worried it’s some type of infection?

Hi, this article: "A color-coded guide to vaginal discharge" at https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322232 may be helpful. It says, "The shade of white can extend to include cream or light yellow. If a person has no other symptoms, white discharge is most likely a sign of healthy lubrication."
