    Question

    I have the white discharge during my ovulation. When I enquired about it with the doctor they were asking me if I am married. I have not had sex, is it that the discharge happens only after you have had sex?

    Answer

    Every woman has a discharge from her vagina all the time - it keeps the vagina clean. The discharge changes during each month, in relation to our hormones, from white to dry to clear, but it is normal. Do not worry!
