What Are Vaginal Discharges?

During sexual intercourse, vaginal lubrication is provided to prevent irritation of the labial parts against friction during walking or exercise, and microbes in the vagina are expelled. With menopause, a decrease in the secretion of vaginal fluid occurs due to the reduced levels of estrogen hormone, leading to vaginal dryness.

Diagnosis is generally made based on a well-taken history and physical examination findings. Microorganisms are also detected in vaginal cultures and smear tests.
