Doctor's answer:

Hello! Normal leukorrhea is colorless, transparent, or creamy white mucus-like substance, acidic with a pH of 4-5, odorless, and measures 0.5 to 1 CL. It generally does not discharge outside the body and primarily serves to lubricate the vagina and external genitalia. If the leukorrhea volume exceeds the normal range, or if changes occur in color, consistency, and odor, it may indicate inflammation.
It is recommended to seek medical examination and maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia in daily life. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and using soap. When infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable, loose, and comfortable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
