Hello, increased vaginal discharge in women may be physiological—commonly occurring around menstruation and the ovulation period. However, such physiological increases are typically odorless. If a woman experiences not only increased vaginal discharge but also an unpleasant odor or vaginal itching, vaginitis should be considered as a possible cause. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
