Vaginal discharge is the result of inflammation of the mucosal tissue of the genital and urinary tracts by bacteria, yeast, or other invaders. Discharge from the vagina can be caused by several different types of invaders, and can range in consistency from thin and watery to thick and viscous. Discharge can be clear, white, yellow, bloody, or a range of colors in between. It can also vary in amount from barely noticeable to very pronounced.
