Watery vaginal discharge is not necessarily related to pregnancy. The watery nature of the discharge is primarily associated with hormonal levels, especially estrogen levels in the body. Under normal circumstances, during a woman's ovulation period, estrogen levels rise, leading to an increase in vaginal discharge, which may sometimes become stretchy or stringy—this is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if increased discharge is accompanied by symptoms such as unpleasant odor, itching of the external genitalia, or lower abdominal pain, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is recommended.
