This discharge, abundant or not, as long as it is not accompanied by bad smell or other symptoms, such as burning when urinating and pain in sexual relations, is normal and does not bring any unpleasant consequences to the woman. Clear egg-type discharge also occurs in women who have tubal ligation, because this is an alteration caused by the ovaries, which remain intact after this procedure.
