Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
A thin watery discharge is not a normal feature and is generally due to genital herpes. At times the sores are not visible and the only thing that remains abnormal is a watery discharge. It can also be atrophic vaginitis which is common in post menopausal women and in younger women heralds a hormonal imbalance. It could also be chlamydial infection or even gonorrhea. Hence it is important to get a complete STD and a complete hormonal panel (estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, thyroid) done. It could also be due to infection in the uterus, cervivitis, vaginal infection. An ultrasound via vaginal route or a uteroscope inserted via vaginal route to look at the  condition of the cervix, uterus etc, a PAP smear, a vaginal swab test, a culture of the vaginal discharge, a complete STD panel are probably what are required. It could also be an allergic reaction to soaps, cosmetics, douches, erasers etc that you use. Hence eliminate them one by one and see if it helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor/ gynecologist. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
