No I dont have any foul discharge or itching its been pretty normal. The appearance changed a bit but nothing too drastic. How i see it, it wasn't looking normal but if you say its normal than I believe what you say.

Brief Answer:
Have a checkup just to be sure, it looks normal to me.

Detailed Answer:
There are just a lot of glands clustered around.
I think it is normal.
You have no other symptoms too, to worry about.
You should have a Pap smear and STD checkup just to be absolutely sure.
