Although vaginal discharge is a regular factor for a woman’s health, abnormal vaginal discharge may signal many conditions, either related to diseases in the reproductive organs or to factors outside the body. Sometimes, abnormal discharge occurs in conjunction with other symptoms. Any unusual discharge that occurs with these symptoms should be reported to a physician, preferably a gynecologist (GYN). 

Other symptoms that may be experienced with vaginal discharge include:

• Itching
• Rash
• Pelvic pain
• Unusual odor
• Pain or burning during urination (dysuria) or bowel movements (dyschezia)
• Fever
• Warts or lesions
• Non-menstrual vaginal bleeding
