What Causes Strange Vaginal Discharge?

When I wipe my vagina in the shower it seems like there is a paper type of substance that rolls into little pieces. I m not sure if it s dry secretion but I m a clean person and I m not sure why it would come out like that. Is it leftover toilet paper?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood the concern. To know if the discharge observed is a piece of left over tissue paper, you need to wash the genital region properly using lukewarm water. Do not insert any tampon or tissue paper until you rule out this cause. If this is ruled out, you need to see if there is any infection. This can be done through a speculum examination by a specialist and a vaginal swab is taken. Infections can happen when the pH of the vagina is altered, when the vaginal walls get thinned out as in menopause etc. Hope this helps.
