Changed vaginal discharge

Vaginal discharge – biological fluids excreted from the vagina. They can be of various colors – white, yellow, green. Changed vaginal discharge can indicate various health issues and conditions. Normally, vaginal discharge serves to keep the vagina clean and maintain a balanced pH level. However, changes in color, consistency, odor, or amount can be a warning sign. Common causes include infections such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and sexually transmitted infections. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, and certain medications can also affect discharge. If you notice significant alterations in your discharge, it is crucial to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.
