	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Sat 05, Sep 2009 09:30pm: Hi, How are you? All women experience some amount of vaginal discharge. This helps clean the vagina, as well as keep it lubricated and free from infection and other germs. A normal vaginal discharge does not have a foul odor and usually has no odor at all. It appears clear or milky when it dries on your clothing. Stress, OCP, diet, infection, vaginal douches, perfumed soaps, antibiotics and pregnancy can upset the natural pH and leads to infection. If it persists, have this evaluated further for proper management. Take care and regards. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
