Watery vaginal discharge is caused by vaginitis, bacterial infections, and other factors. Normally, vaginal discharge is colorless, transparent, and slightly viscous. During ovulation, women may experience an increased amount of vaginal discharge. Bacterial vaginosis is the main cause of watery, thin discharge. Excessive secretion often results from poor hygiene in the perineal and vaginal area, along with the presence of various pathogenic bacteria.
