Abnormal vaginal discharges

Dr Brigid Monda

A healthy vagina is never dry. It has natural secretions that keep it clean, moist and lubricated. The cervix, the lower end of the uterus that opens into the vaginal cavity has mucus-secreting glands which secrete a clear mucus secretion that drains downward into the vagina and mixes with bacteria, discarded vaginal cells and Bartholin’s gland secretions, and this is what constitutes the normal vaginal discharge.
