Answered by Dr. Soumya (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Vaginal mucous discharge

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

White discharge is vaginal mucous ( water) discharge. This is the one responsible for keeping vagina moist, hydrated and lubricated.

However white color indicates there is infection of vaginal fluid. Please see your doctor and request for high vaginal swab culture and sensitivity test from this discharge.

You can take treatment as per the report of culture and sensitivity test.
