• What is this thick gooey discharge?

If you have a thick gooey discharge it is recommended that you seek medical attention. Your doctor will be able to diagnose the problem and give you some medication that will get rid of the gooey discharge and make you feel much more comfortable.

The discharge you are experiencing may be completely normal. You are meant to get some discharge as it is your body's way of cleaning your vagina and it is common to experience significantly more discharge in the lead up to ovulation.

While some discharge is healthy and normal you should keep an eye out for certain types of discharge which are not healthy or normal. This would include discharge that is a strange color, is extremely thick and lumpy. If it has a similar consistency of cottage cheese or if it has a strong, foul smell.

• Seeing a doctor
