What Causes Unusual Discharge From The Vagina?
Just finished up my period last night and to my surprise in the middle of the night while I was asleep, I felt discharge and assumed it was blood. I flipped out of bed and ran to my bathroom. As I was doing that, a huge gush of clear water came out running down my legs as if I urinated all over my self. When I got to the toilet, I got some off my leg and smelled it. It was odorless but the consistency as water. I am 36, not pregnant, and no where near menopausal. What could this be?

Hello,
You are 36 years of age and are experiencing clear watery discharge like pee. It is odor less. Perimenopause, or menopause transition, begins several years before menopause. You are in perimenopausal phase. It usually starts in women's 40s, but can start in their 30s or even earlier. Perimenopause lasts up until menopause. No worries, your discharge is healthy as it is clear, watery, it also doesn’t have a strong odor and doesn’t cause irritation. Vaginal atrophy can cause a watery discharge due to the thinning of the vaginal walls.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by an OBGYN to get your cervix examined. You may be asked to do a Pap smear to detect any cervical erosions, changes in the cells, etc. You will be treated accordingly. Sometimes, leukorrhea also causes such symptoms. Get per vaginal examination doe, you may need a course of antibiotics. Take care of your hygiene. Do not douche vagina, do not use harsh lubricants, perfumed products. If there is hormonal problem you will be treated accordingly. Take diet rich in minerals (magnesium, zinc, calcium, etc.) and protein. Reduce stress, stay away from addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
