That is super super normal. The vagina is self cleaning and getting rid of the bad bacteria from inside. As long as the discharge is not a thick white cottage-cheese like discharge (yeast infection symptom, but yeast infection has other symptoms like itching) then you are completely healthy

How do you get a yeast infection
scientifically you are normally supposed to have both good and bad bacteria if your vagina and the good bacteria keeps the bad bacteria and yeast in check. so something killing the bacteria in your vagina is letting the yeast grow. This can happen if you've recently taken antibiotics that kill the bacteria. sometimes if you've been wearing tight pants a lot recently. or if you've been walking around in a wet bathing suit all day. yeast loves moist environments. they are a very easy fix with antifungal ointment or pills and you can get them over the counter.
