Guide to Intimate Part Discharge Colour

Let’s face it. We’ve all had that moment when we’ve pulled down our pants in the bathroom, seen a different color than usual, and asked, “Is that normal?”

Intimate part discharge is a normal part of a woman’s reproductive cycle. Healthy discharge keeps the intimate part clean, wards off infections, and provides lubrication. You may notice your discharge changes throughout your menstrual cycle and over the years. The production of intimate part discharge can vary from woman to woman, and can change in consistency and appearance depending on many factors.

These factors include:

• menstrual cycle
• Infections
• hormonal changes in the body
• pregnancy

Generally, a healthy intimate part discharge:

• Appears clear or white in color
• Has a slight odor, but not one that is strong smelling
• Can leave a yellowish tint on your underwear and it is acidic enough to discolour fabric.
• Changes in consistency depending on your menstrual cycle

Most of the time, intimate part discharge is not something you should worry about, however, if you notice your intimate part discharge has changed from its typical consistency, color, and smell, or if you have other symptoms in your intimate part area such as intimate part itching, swelling, burning, or pain, this may be a sign of a more serious problem.
