During sexual intercourse, if the vagina secretes a white, milky substance, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor,
I would like to ask, during sexual intercourse, I often notice white, milky-like substances on my husband's penis coming from my vagina. Is this due to lubrication or a problem with my reproductive system? Normally, I have very little vaginal discharge, and it usually increases slightly before my period. I don't feel any discomfort, but many gynecological conditions are not easily noticeable, so I would like to consult you. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, this is a normal physiological phenomenon. During sexual activity, the vagina secretes milky white discharge, which serves to lubricate the vaginal canal. It contains human electrolytes, so it naturally has a salty taste. As long as you pay attention to personal hygiene, there should be no risk of gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis or cervical erosion. If you experience symptoms like these, the discharge may turn light yellow or reddish. Your situation is perfectly normal, so please don't worry.
