What color is female arousal discharge?

Published in Female Health 1 min read

Female arousal discharge is typically clear. It is a natural lubricant produced by glands in and around the vagina during sexual stimulation.

This fluid's primary function is to prepare the vagina for intercourse by:

  • Lubricating: Reducing friction and making penetration more comfortable.
  • Moistening: Ensuring the vaginal tissues are adequately hydrated.
  • Slipperiness: Facilitating smoother and less painful sexual activity.

Characteristics of Healthy Arousal Fluid:

  • Color: Clear
  • Texture: Wet, moist, and slippery

Any significant deviation from these characteristics, such as a change in color (e.g., yellow, green, gray), consistency (e.g., thick, chunky), or the presence of a foul odor, could indicate an infection or other underlying health issue and warrants medical evaluation.
