I found discharge around my urethra when I opened my vulva walls and then started spraying water to clean it but why is it called VAGINAL discharge if it’s in my vulva

Okay so that's a super good question! It's called vaginal discharge because it actually comes from your vagina and cervix (which is the bottom part of your uterus). Even though you see it around your vulva, it started inside.

Your vagina is inside your body, and the vulva is what you see on the outside, like the labia and clitoris. The discharge travels from inside your vagina and comes out through the opening. So even though it shows up on your vulva, it's really from your vagina, and that's why it has that name. It's totally normal and helps keep your vagina clean and healthy!
