I've been having this continuous issue where a white fluid or water keeps coming from my vagina, and it happens even when I'm not thinking about anything sexual. This started when I was around 17, but I just assumed it was normal since I didn't know much back then. I'm still experiencing it now, and I can't help but wonder if this is related to why I'm so slim. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

2-3 days in amoth is normal and is physiological if its more than that visit Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management
