For a woman to have vaginal discharge is completely normal. In addition, it is necessary to keep the vagina protected. However, when vaginal discharge undergoes more or less sudden changes in quantity, color, odor or texture, an infection may be present.
Therefore, in order to have a healthy vaginal discharge, it is necessary to avoid infections with recommendations such as the following:
- Use condoms, to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
- Do not douche.
- Use cotton underwear.
- Do not use vaginal perfumed products.
In addition, it is recommended that women avoid using panty liners. Instead, it is a better option to change underwear when necessary so as not to feel the sensation of wetness.
