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.
