Hello there

 

Sexual mom is right in that it is normal to have a discharge every day which is clear or milky with no abnormal odor.  This is the body's way of cleaning out dead cells. 

 

You can read more about what is a normal discharge and what signs indicate infection right here.

 

If you have itching, irritation burning, or blood when you are not having your period you should get things checked out. 

 

Thank you for your question.

Chances are it isn't discharge, but the natural secretions that the vagina makes. Is it heavy enough to require a panty liner? Is it a thick consistancy, green in color, or have a foul smell? If the answer is yes to any of those, I would suggeest she go and see her OBGYn to rule out any other major health concern
