ABSTRACT
Women may present in a variety of settings (general practice, gynaecology, family planning or genitourinary medicine) with a complaint of vaginal discharge. There is no standard definition that differentiates a normal vaginal discharge from one that may be considered abnormal. However, an excessive or unpleasant vaginal secretion, with or without associated pruritus or genital odour, may be categorized as a working definition for an abnormal vaginal discharge.
