Vaginal discharge

Mucoid, serous, or purulent fluid emanating from the vaginal canal, originating from vaginal, cervical, or uterine secretions. Possible causes are physiologic (lubrication and microbial homeostasis), infection/inflammation (vaginitis, cervicitis, vulvovaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, PID), and irritation (soap, lotion, spermicides, foreign objects, vaginal atrophy).
