I came here searching a few days ago b/c I had the same issue. Two early morning “gushes” in a row with tapering off through the day. Never anything like this before. Went to my OB/Gyn today. She said the clue for my situation was that it happened at Night primarily. She said my PH is off. For me, it’s due to the high sugar content I ate over Christmas holidays, which I normally don’t. She told me to take 1 TBSP of organic apple cider vinegar diluted in water and drink once a day for at least a few weeks. Also, to add 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of it to my bath water & sit in it a few times per week. She said my vagina was too alkaline & they need to be more acidic. Told me to start off ingesting so my internal systems could get acidic, then focus on the baths to get the external fixed next. Other than that, I’m supposed to take quality probiotics pills. Very relieved that it wasn’t a cyst or infection in my case (no bad odor, itching or pain in my case, just the fish of fluid). Hope this helps someone.
Hi folks--I'm equally disgusted that doctors don't seem to know what this is because obviously it's happening to a lot of women, but after an exhaustive internet search (my doctor was no help, she thinks I wet the bed and had to have ignored 90% of what I told her to come to that conclusion), I think it's probably a cyst that formed in the vagina and showed no symptoms until it burst, and for some of us it was one and done, and others who have it repeating might be the cyst re-closing and re-filling with fluid and then rupturing repeatedly or leaking consistently. I'm not a doctor, but a friend of mine years ago told me her doctor found a cyst in her vagina that was several inches LONG--along side the wall of her vagina, which is why she didn't really notice it (our vaginas are meant to expand to accommodate sex and childbirth) but she said that the doctor drained the fluid and it was 1-2 cups worth of clear fluid. So that's my best guess. I do think if it's something that happens to you repeatedly, you should go to your doctor and INSIST that they make an effort to figure this out. And I'd recommend a gyno, at least they should have more experience than a general doctor in this area. Specifically ask them to look for evidence of a cyst, full or ruptured, and see if that helps to guide them. But at least if it is just a cyst, it's almost certainly not going to kill you--just disturbing on so many levels :). Be vigilant and demand that your doctors hear you. We deserve to be listened to!
I apologize for the length of my response, but I have a LOT to say, and I think it'll be extremely helpful for everyone.
Hello, my name is Sarah. I'm a 32 year old medical transcriber, ans I plan on continuing my education for a BSN in nursing. I've studied medical science since I was extremely young, I guess I technically began around 3 years old, when I'd watch live medical surgeries with my parents. I have extensive medical knowledge, and most certainly above-average medical knowledge, particularly in anatomy, biology, and medical language.
First let me say, I'm not attempting to diagnose anyone whatsoever, just simply offering my two cents. Secondly, I think it's disgraceful that there is such a huge discrepancy between what science has studied of the male reproductive system, and the female reproductive system. It is PALPABLE. We have pills that can literally enhance the male experience during sex, but we have no answers to a simple question like this that a large number of women are having to deal with. SMH.
Now, I've had to deal with the sa.e phenomenon as every one of you, and I want to let you know right now that you're experiencing something called "medical gaslighting." If you're not familiar with it, then I urge you to look it up and know how to guard yourself against it, as your own medical ambassador.
"Gaslighting" is a term that came from the 1944 film "Gaslight." Please take a moment to read the synopsis of this fill so you can understanding the meaning of gaslighting, if you're unfamiliar with it. Now, medical gaslighting is the same concept, but within the scope of medicine. To no surprise, medical gaslighting almost always takes place against women. A few examples of this are multiple sclerosis, hypo/hyperthyroidism, and obviously, whatever this phenomenon is. So, I want to tell every one of you right now that you have EVERY RIGHT to know your own body, to listen to your intuition, and to tell someone that they're assumption of your condition is wrong---regardless of who they are.
Now to get to the nitty gritty... the clear odorless, water-like consistency that women leak is called urea. Urea is a fluid formed by the kidneys when they kidneys filter the blood. Urea forms in the blood after consuming animal proteins. Urea is one component of urine, but it is NOT urine. Sometimes when a women ejaculated during intercourse, she expels either ejaculate (something else entirely), or Urea (water-like, colorless, odorless fluid), or a combination of both.
Sometimes, for whatever reason that nobody seems to understand because, apparently, the scientific community doesn't prioritize the study of the female reproductive system beyond basic biology (queue in the eyerolls).
If the fluid you leak
A. Has color
B. Has odor
C. Contains blood, pus, or another material, and/or
D. Happens in such measure that it disrupts your ability to fulfill your day-to-day functions, then you need to see your gynecologist, and stay on the issue until its resolved. You have EVERY RIGHT to fight for your medical rights, and if you feel that something is wrong with you, then follow your instincts and stay on the ball until the issue is resolved.
Unfortunately, nobody is going to fight for women's reproductive rights. Nobody is going to fight for better sex education. Nobody is going to fight for the scientific community to make an actual effort to understand female biology and sexual reproduction. We have to do it ourselves. We have to raise our voices and demand to be heard, AND NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL GASLIGHTING, until this epidemic ends.
Okay, now that I've gotten this out of my system, I'm 99% sure that the gush of clear fluid we're experiencing is urea. I can't say I know why it's happening or if it's due to reproductive complications, an STD or other disease, cysts, tumors, cancer, fibroids, hormones, or another condition or cause. I don't know "the why," but I AM fairly confident that it's urea.
I am curious, if all of you could respond with whether you eat meat or not, and typically how much as well as whether you can remember eating more meat than usual on or around the time of this gushing of fluid, I'm very curious to know.
In the mean time, I'm going to provide a link that explains the entire uratic process to help better understand how it works and what urea is.

I am a virgin and non sexually active. Back in 2009 I found that there was a risk of ovarian cyst and menorrhagia-metorrphaigia (prolonged or heavy bleeding). I get clear fluid that occasionally gushes out of me during my period to a degree that I have used or had to wear disposable pull on panties during my monthly cycle because it seems comed from either the vagina itself or not bladder. It gets embarrassing sometimes. I will like find answers of what the excessive clear water like or urine is.
This could be hydrosalpinx I think it's called I have just been diagnosed with it. It was caused by having tubes clamped it's where fluid fills up ur fallopian tubes and back flows into uterus hope this is of some help
Sorry for being toooooo late in responding to your question, but I sort of posted my reply and forgot about it !! Only now I happened to see your reply for me !! Accept my deep apology.
It's hard for me to name books for you because I'm arabian muslim and don't know certain names of islamic books in english. I think you can ask any islamic center or even google about books in islamic ( fiq'h al- ibadat ). thats the arabic word for the branch of islamic knowledge that relates to discribing the details of performing islamic acts of Worship. you would wonder what is the relation with our discussion . Simply in islam man and woman must purify their bodies in able to be ready to perform certain acts of worship.. One way of doing this is by taking an obligatory full shower after having sex OR after ejaculation , here we come to our discussion point , every muslim not only scolars , learn in early stages of their life , as soon as they become adults, That man and woman both experience ejaculation . Not only man. It deffers in the way it gushs , in colour , odor , and consistency . But both are same in relating to sexuall act or it may happen during sleeping. This information is NOT a result of some islamic research . It is shown in our prophet muhammed teachings (Sunnah) 1400 years ago, which we Muslims believe that they are basically the teachings of God been delivered to mankind not only muslims , through the last prophet muhammed ( pbuh) . So we really believe that the Creator of the whole universe . The whole mankind , the Creator of man and woman , Is a much better resource for information about any matter . No matter how developed medical science is, there is so many information yet to be discovered . And some of resently proven facts are 1400 years ago mentioned in God's book for mankind ( Quran) or islamic holy book. I encourage you to search for scientific miracles in Quran and Sunnah. You will find some intersting information.
Hope that you found my answer useful and clear . And forgive my weak language !!!
I have not logged in here or posted for a few years, it's amazing to me how long this post continues to grow and how many women especially in the United States don't get the information that they need. But I can guarantee it's not necessarily fibroid or anything like that because I had a full hysterectomy including my ovaries a few years ago but the water still comes. I haven't released it in so long that I think I was getting stomach cramps so I indulged in a little bit of self entertainment, on top of a waterproof mattress pad of course, and again the liquid that came out was clear and not urine in any sense. I'm not saying that's what it is for everybody but I wish there was a group we could form for those of us who get this clear liquid, possibly related to arousal… I think the most helpful person on this thread so far was the woman in India I believe… Best wishes to all, now and always.
I'm 52 and experienced this for the first time about 3 years ago. It turned out to be a very large fibroid (about the size of an egg) that was undetected despite multiple ultrasounds because of its odd position. It required surgery for removal. Unfortunately today I feel a little bit of leakage, very similar to the way it started a few years ago. I'll keep tabs on it but do not accept this as "normal" it isn't.
This just happened to me for the first time ever. I'm 27 and just had sex with my husband about 20 minutes prior. I was walking about and it would just pouring out. I am so freaked out!
I can’t believe how old and still active this post is! And we all have the same issue which doctors still can’t seem to find an actual cause for! That’s crazy. I thought I was the only one.
I’m 24, never pregnant, sexually active with only 1 partner. So far this gushing/leaking of clear odorless watery discharge has been going on for about 4 months and I feel like I’m going to lose my mind. I haven’t been able to wear thongs or fancier panties like I used to (first world problems,I know) and it’s ruined my self confidence day to day and in bed. I hate not being comfortable in my own damn underwear. I have had to wear a pad everyday for the past 4 months, and sometimes even tampons because it was so heavy and constant, and I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this. I’ve been to an OBGYN and had every test possible run I feel like, and all that’s gotten me is into debt, still no answers. She was convinced I had bacterial vaginosis or trich (STD) but the tests all came back negative. I was prescribed Flagyl (metronidazole) for a week, it did nothing. I was prescribed FemPH vaginal jelly which is basically vinegar to insert daily. I did that for a few days until it was burning/beating up in there and I started bleeding. Stopped taking that and the bleeding stopped. My doctor has been useless and I haven’t been back since she basically left me with “try this and see if it works for a while”.
What I HAVE done on my own that has helped to some degree (as in instead of me soaking through pads+underwear+my pants I only wet the pad) is started taking women’s probiotics. This has lightened the amount some, and maybe if I do it for long enough it’ll stop? I’m not sure, I’m just guessing here. I’ve tried RePHresh Pro-B and this was not helpful, it only made me incredibly bloated and had to go poop like every hour. I’ve tried VitaminBounty Women’s Pro-Daily ones, they didn’t do much for me again, just make me gassy, although much less than the RePHresh. The last ones I’ve tried which have been making a difference are the Hyperbiotics Pro-Women
I’m not sure if it’s the D-Mannose in then, which I’ve heard is helpful with female reproductive tract issues, but they actually did SOMETHING. And I have only taken them for about two weeks so far. If it stops this long term, I’ll come back and update.
Best of luck everyone, you are not alone!
I am 15, and have been experiencing this periodically. I'm not sexually active (nor ever have been) but I irregularly masturbate. This happens whether I'm aroused or not, usually accompanied by blood. I recently had my period, really lightly with brown/old blood for over 30 days (my doc says this is because I'm moving into an ovulatory cycle) but the substance is always with bright red blood.
I am going to see on. I ham 51. No sex recently. Wondered about estrogen dominance. Had a small gush about a month ago when sleeping. Last eve it was a big gush. Clear fluid but a lot. Had to change pjs. I’m thinking cyst or estrogen dominance.
This post is so old I'm not sure if anyone will see this but I was doing some googling and came across this thread. This happens to me every month starting about a week after my period and lasts about 5 days. It is apparently my tubes filling up with fluid and draining. Any way, if I maintain a vegan lifestyle (very difficult for me) it stops. My gyno says that the added hormones in all the meat and dairy we're too much for my body.
Hi I also am having this problem. For the last 3 days I've literally felt like I'm peeing myself randomly throughout the day. It started happening after I went swimming 3 days ago but I haven't gone since. Now the discharge comes out feeling very warm, like how it feels when you go pee after being in a pool for a long time. I'm really confused because the warmth is new. Is anyone else experiencing warmth or is this just me??
Could just be ovulation look at this link for more info https://www.checkpregnancy.com/watery-discharge-causes-relief/
I'm 16 and never had sex, and it happened to me once. Until now I don't know what's that.
You may have Hydrosalpinx which is causing your symptoms of clear watery drainage from the vaginal vault. Fluid accumulates in the fallopian tubes and exits through the vagina. common after having tubes tied
I'm 17, I have the implanon rod in my arm and I'm experiencing clear watery like discharge, is this a sign of early pregnancy? Yes I am sexually active, I've been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend as the rod prevents pregnancy
I don't know how old this post is but if someone comes across this in Google you ladies should read about this before you think it's just natural.

Vaginal fatista check spelling on that but this is a serious thing...
I've only recently noticed this as well! Just stopped taking yaz on the 16th of Feb after four years on it and now my sex drive has gone crazy. Masturbated every second day of this week and have had this gushing feeling for the last two weeks. No kids and never been pregnant. Not had sex in over a year.
hi, are you still in on this conversation. I really wanted to talk to someone about it.
I have had some concerns, so I googled my situation and came across this concern. a lot of these women experienced the same exact thing as I recently did. I was just wondering if this conversation was still active. I'm actually still in shock by what I experienced. I really want answers
I will add my experience. Doctors don't seem to have any answers on this one and this is the first medical question that I have googled and have come up almost empty handed, besides this site.
I'm 50. Not menopausal. Tubes NOT tied/no IUD.
I've only noticed this since having kids--within the past 7 years. This happens to me very rarely--6x? Every time has been when I am walking, frequently when it is cold. There is no sensation, only that it feels like I have a quick onset of my period. Clear, odorless liquid--like water. Definitely not urine. No recent sexual activity.
I have always assumed, like Alibeebu, that it is associated with G-spot ejaculate somehow. I may have to test out her recent sex theory!
Anyone know if there would be pressure if you need to have a bowel movement?
I will monitor it this time--make note of where I was on my menstrual cycle, bowel movements, sex, etc., but it probably won't happen again for a while.
I just had this happen to me tonight. I am 46 years old. Didn't have sex in the last week, not pregnant, not having a period and it definitely wasn't urine. I didn't even know it had happened until I got up from sitting and my pants and underwear were soaked. No smell or color, looked like water. No pain either. I have never had this happen before. What the heck is it?
