Vaginal Discharge — Which Doctor Should I See?

Normal discharge is clear to milky, odorless or mild-smelling, and varies in consistency throughout your menstrual cycle. Amount increases with ovulation, arousal, or exercise.

Seek medical attention if discharge has a foul odor, is gray/green/brown, causes itching or burning, is accompanied by pain, or follows unprotected intercourse.

Common causes include yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted infections, hormonal changes, irritants, and inflammatory conditions. A doctor can diagnose the cause.
