Question : My girlfriend has a milky fluid dripping from her vagina. It's not a discharge though? But has an infection on the outside of her vagina. Does this mean the infection has gone outside?

Hi,

Welcome to XXXXXXX

It doesn't mean that infection has gone out, it means infection has involved out side also.

White discharge (leucorrhoea) from vagina is most probably due to some infection.

Examination and some investigations are essential for diagnosis.

Please consult a Gynecologist and get her examined.
