Let’s be real—vaginal discharge is one of those topics no one wants to talk about, yet nearly every woman experiences it. And while we’re often told it’s “normal,” the real question many of us have is: how do you actually *know* when it’s *not*? I used to ignore it completely, thinking it was just part…
Okay, let’s get real. Vaginal discharge is one of those topics no one talks about at brunch, yet it’s something every woman experiences. I remember my first panic moment as a teen, googling like crazy wondering if my discharge meant something was wrong with me. Turns out, not all discharge is created equal. So, how…
