“Vagina produces a whitish fluid called vaginal discharge. It provides lubrication, protects the vagina against infection, and maintains its overall health. However, sometimes it may carry a strong, pungent smell that may cause inconvenience to the vagina owners and affect their sexual life. Excessive white discharge, metallic-smelling discharge, foul-smelling discharge, and thick discharge are some of the most common symptoms of unhealthy vaginal discharge," says Dr. Dimple Jangda, Ayurveda & Gut Health Coach, in her recent Instagram post.
