Brief Answer:
Candidiasis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

What is the consistency of the discharge? Is it cheese like or watery?
Do you have itching or redness?
Are you sexually active?

If it is cheeze like consistency it might be vaginal candidiasis? If it is watery it could be normal vaginal/cervical discharge happening in excess.

Let me know the details.

Brief Answer:
Fungal infection or Bacterial Vaginosis

Detailed Answer:
yeast is generally grown in the vagina and due to certain circumstances it overgrows causing the cheezy discharge. The condition can be bacterial vaginosis along with or without candidal infection.

You need to get examined for a course of antibiotics. Meantime you can use METROGYL Vaginal gel, twice a day for 5 days. This seems to be over the coutner available.

If it does not help you it needs oral dose which can be obtained by prescription of doctor.
