Hormonal imbalances due to stress or other health conditions, like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), may also cause increases in vaginal discharge. PCOS affects some 10 percent of reproductive-age women. While some women experience less vaginal discharge, others report having more.

Do you get cervical mucus with PCOS?

Ultimately, women with PCOS and ovulatory cycles had cervical mucus with similar properties as women with normal ovulatory cycles. However, women with PCOS and anovulatory cycles were found to have cervical mucus that is more compact and less symmetric.

How can I stop daily discharge?

Avoid wearing tight pants, pantyhose, swimming suits, biking shorts, or leotards for long periods. Change your laundry detergent or fabric softener if you think it may be irritating your genital area.
