clear slimy discharge when i wipe

Clear, slimy discharge when wiping is most commonly a sign of normal cervical mucus related to your menstrual cycle, particularly near ovulation. During this time, rising estrogen levels cause cervical mucus to become more abundant, clear, sticky, and slippery—similar to raw egg whites. This type of discharge helps sperm travel and supports fertility and is considered a healthy, normal bodily function. It can also occur due to sexual arousal or early pregnancy as a result of hormonal changes. Such discharge is usually odorless and not accompanied by irritation, itching, or discomfort. However, if the discharge becomes excessive, watery, has an unusual odor (like fishy smell), or is accompanied by itching or burning, it may indicate an infection or imbalance requiring medical advice. In summary, clear slimy discharge when wiping is typically normal and linked to ovulation or hormonal shifts unless other symptoms suggest otherwise.
