Sara Roy, a 28-year-old marketing executive,...
Sara Roy, a 28-year-old marketing executive, had been noticing an increase in clear, odorless vaginal discharge for about three weeks. Recently married and planning to start a family, she felt anxious that this might indicate an infection or affect her fertility. Her periods were regular, and she had no itching or pain, but the constant wetness was uncomfortable and worrying. Her gynecologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a pelvic exam and a microscopic examination of the discharge (wet mount) to rule out causes like physiological leukorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, or cervical factors. During the speculum exam, Sara felt nervous but the doctor was gentle and explained each step. The test itself was quick. The results showed completely normal, physiological discharge, likely linked to her hormonal cycle. Relieved, Sara learned this was often a sign of healthy estrogen levels. Her emotional journey shifted from fear and embarrassment about her body to relief and empowerment. She left the appointment feeling reassured about her reproductive health and confident to proceed with her family planning.
