Let’s have the awkward conversation about discharge. Here is exactly what signals a problem.
We know, nobody wants to talk about it. But as OBGYNs, it’s one of the most common concerns we hear in our Islip office. Your discharge is actually a really helpful health indicator, like a check-engine light for your va**na.
Let’s simplify it.
✅ Usually okay: Clear, cloudy, white, or pale yellow. The consistency changes throughout your cycle (from sticky to stretchy like egg whites—that’s ovulation!).
🚩 Time to get checked:
A sudden change in amount or consistency that doesn't match your cycle.
Colors like greenish, grayish, or frothy hues.
A noticeably foul or fishy odor.
Accompanied by itching, burning, or pelvic pain.
Don't Google it and panic. If something seems off, let a professional take a look. It’s usually an easy fix.
