Nasal discharge refers to fluid that comes from the nose, and originates in the nasal passages. This fluid may be clear, blood-tinged, bloody, or it may contain mucus (mucoid discharge) or pus (purulent discharge). In some instances, the nasal discharge may contain food particles. The nasal discharge may originate from one nostril (unilateral) or from both nostrils (bilateral).
The vaginal walls and uterine cervix contain glands that produce a small amount of fluid that helps to keep the vagina clean. This normal fluid is usually thin and clear or milky white and does not have an unpleasant smell. Vaginal discharge is thicker at specific times of the menstrual cycle (at the time of ovulation), during breastfeeding, or during sexual arousal. This temporary thickening of the vaginal discharge is normal and is not associated with the symptoms and signs of vaginal infection.
