Female vaginal discharge is quite normal, but some women have a heavier discharge which fluctuates around their monthly menstrual cycle.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Wear cotton underwear because it will help you absorb moisture and because “cotton breathes,” it will allow air to circulate down there.

  2. Step 2

    Do not douche all the time, because doing this on a regular basis will only alter the pH balance of the vagina

  3. Step 3

    Do not use vaginal deodorants and sprays; yes, these products will make your womanly area smell nice but (there is always a but) they usually cause irritation.

  4. Step 4

    Always use un-scented tissue/toilet paper because perfumes can cause irritation and actually increase vaginal discharge

  5. Step 5

    See your physician if you notice that your vaginal discharge is becoming heavier than usual because this could be a sign of infection.

  6. Step 6

    Change your brand of oral contraceptives if you notice that your vaginal discharge has suddenly increased when you started taking them.

  7. Step 7

    Wash your vagina with anti-bacteria soap, doing this will keep your vagina clean and control discharge

  8. Step 8

    Do not wear underwear made of nylon fabric.
