Discharge is normal and you will always have it. You cant get rid of it. Thats your body's way of cleaning your vagina. Some women have more than others but that doesn't make you abnormal.

The vaginal canal has a mucus membrane. The vagina produces a mucus discharge continually throughout the month however the consistency will change with hormonal levels. This mucus in normal and performs several functions. It lubricates the vaginal canal and allows sperm to "swim" during ovulation so the egg can be fertilized. The discharge can be thick and clumpy at times and thin and stringy other times, depending where you are in your monthly cycle. Generally, if there is no foul odor or discoloration you are producing normal mucus.

Vaginal discharge.
When you say you get treatments for the discharge, are you meaning that you go to a doctor and they do a culture? Because you might have a yeast infection. I have a yeast infection that won't go away. And It's a clumpy white discharge. Every time I go to the gyno, she does a slide test under the microscope and tells me that there is still yeast. So you might want to go to your gynecologist and have a culture done. My discharge before this yeast infection was always clear but a little thick during ovulation.

Good Luck.

I have very close to the same thing and today the doctor said I have bacterial Vaginitis, which can be cleared with antobiotics. you should just go to the doctor and get a culture done like was said before

Usually when the vagina cleans itself it has a clear or white discharge as long as it does not smell funny or it is yellow your fine. Its just the vagina cleaning the inside of its self where we can not reach so we do not get a bacteria infection or yeast infection
