Abstract

Vaginal discharge is a common symptom; it may be either physiological or pathological. The most common cause of vaginal discharge is physiological, which is usually clear, non-offensive and non-pruritic. Pathological causes of vaginal discharge include infections, both non-sexually as well as sexually transmitted. It is imperative to assess these patients thoroughly for accurate diagnoses and appropriate management.
