For women approaching ovulation, increased vaginal discharge that makes underwear wet is normal. The discharge tends to be thin and clear, with no unpleasant odor. In such cases, if there are no symptoms like abnormal odor, itching, or discomfort in the genital area, no special treatment is needed—just maintain good external genital hygiene. However, if discomfort occurs, it may indicate an inflammation, and a medical evaluation is recommended. A hospital visit for examination of vaginal secretions should be made, followed by appropriate medication based on the test results.
