Different colours of vaginal discharge and it’s meaning:

  1. Yellow: A light yellow discharge can be normal but if it’s clumpy like cottage cheese then it might be a result of yeast infection.
  2. Green: frothy green discharge with fishy odour is an indication of STI called trichomoniasis.
  3. Gray: gray discharge that is thin and watery with strong fishy smell can be an indication of bacterial vaginosis.
  4. Brown or red : brown or red discharge is usually related to irregular menstruation or pregnancy.
  5. Clear or white: normal vaginal discharge is clear and white. But, if the discharge is thicker than usual or causes itching then it may be an indication of yeast infection.Do you know of any other vaginal discharge?

This is such a useful post; I appreciate how you explained it so well! :raising_hands:t3: Despite the fact that vaginal discharge can reveal a great deal about the body, it is rarely discussed in public. Another kind that is worth mentioning is **pink discharge**, which can happen during the early stages of pregnancy or after sexual activity. Have you seen that? The more we know, the more we care, so let’s continue the discussion! :speech_balloon::growing_heart:
