Explore what causes vaginal discharge, what’s a healthy baseline, and how to identify when there are unhealthy changes in the fluids. -- Our bodies are constantly producing, purging, and recycling secretions to fulfill all sorts of functions. Our reproductive organs are no exception. Vaginas are engaged in ongoing cycles of fluid discharge. But it can be hard to know what is "normal" when there’s a taboo in talking about it. So, what’s healthy discharge? And when is there cause for concern? Elizabeth Micks investigates. Lesson by Elizabeth Micks, directed by Juliana Erazo.
