📝7 common types of VAGINAL DISCHARGE and what to do if you have any
1. Yellowish
2. Brown
3. Green
4. Pink
5. Thin white
6. Thick white
7. Creamy grey
Yellowish va**nal discharge with or without a smell, may be a sign of;
- bacterial infection, or
- s*xually transmitted infection (STI), like Trichomoniasis
If you have this discharge, don't waste further time. See your health care provider for evaluation & treatment.
Brown va**nal discharge may be due to;
- irregular menstrual cycles
- uterine cancer, or
- cervical cancer
In fact, brown discharge in a woman after menopause is often an early sign of cancer of the uterus.
It's a sign you shouldn't joke about. See your doctor if you have it.
Greenish va**nal discharge may point to the presence of;
- bacterial infection, or
- STI, such as Chlamydia
So people having greenish va**nal discharge should see their doctor for tests & possible commencement of antibiotics.
Pink va**nal discharge occurs in va**nal irritation, bleeding from the cervix, or after implantation.
It's occasionally due to STI's like gonorrhea or chlamydia & may be accompanied by bleeding during s*x.
You should also see a doctor if you have a pink va**nal discharge.
Thin white discharge may be normal or abnormal.
If it is CLEAR & mild it's usually normal e.g. during pregnancy, ovulation, & around your period.
But gonorrhea can increase the volume of clear discharge or turn it mucopurulent, with additional abdominal or pelvic pain.
Thick white, curdy or cheese-like discharge that feels like thick yogurt, is often due to yeast infection or candida.
9 in 10 women have this infection at some point in their life.
It may come with itching, redness, irritation, excoriation or burning sensation in the va**na .
You can treat your yeast infection with antifungal creams.
But if the symptoms don’t improve or occur four or more times in a year, go to the hospital and see a doctor.
