Other names for this condition included the "abnormal flux", "menstrual flux", and "hemorrhage of the uterus".[2] Juvenal was a Roman poet notable for his Satires.[46] In these works, he occasionally described what we know to be vaginal discharge, which is the collection of cells, bacteria, and liquid used to protect and lubricate the vagina.[47][48] He wrote about a "great torrent of sheer lust" running down a woman's legs at the idea of engaging in "energetic" interactions with a man. Juvenal also stated that "No woman will say no to her moist vulva", and he describes an adulteress coming home with a fluid on her dress, possibly semen or vaginal discharge.[49]
