Vaginal Discharge - Normal Abnormal Douching Bacterial Vaginosis Candida (Thrush) Trichomonas Post-Coital Bleeding
Abnormal vaginal discharge
Vaginal discharge is one of the more common reasons for a woman to consult her doctor. A troublesome increase in vaginal discharge may need assessment. An offensive odour, vaginal and vulval (external) irritation or soreness are common accompanying symptoms when there is infection.
Blood stained discharge is always an indication for medical assessment. Bacteriological (swab) and blood tests are required particularly if there is any possibility of a sexually transmitted disease.
