Watery discharge that feels like urine is commonly caused by natural hormonal fluctuations in the body. These hormonal changes occur during phases such as ovulation, pregnancy, sexual arousal, and the menstrual cycle. Watery discharge is typically clear, odorless, and normal in these situations. However, it can sometimes be linked to infections or other medical conditions if accompanied by symptoms like foul smell, itching, soreness, or pain. Common causes of watery discharge similar to urine include:

• Hormonal changes during ovulation, pregnancy, before periods, and menopause.
• Sexual arousal, which increases lubricating fluids.
• Normal menstrual cycle phases when estrogen levels fluctuate.
• Early pregnancy, where discharge can increase.
• Infections like bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, which may cause watery discharge with an odor, color changes, or discomfort.
• Stress can alter hormone levels, potentially causing watery discharge.

If the discharge has a strong odor, causes discomfort, or a person is unsure whether the fluid is discharge or urine, consulting a healthcare provider is advised to rule out urinary incontinence or infections. In summary, watery discharge like urine is often normal and linked to hormonal changes, but watch for signs that could indicate infection or other health issues requiring medical attention.
