Yellowish, watery vaginal discharge indicates a bacterial infection and may also suggest endometritis. Pay attention to whether the discharge has an odor or is accompanied by genital itching, as these symptoms are often related to bacterial or pathogen infections. For example, bacterial vaginosis can cause yellow or greenish discharge with a fishy odor. It is recommended to visit a hospital for routine vaginal discharge examination and appropriate medical treatment. Also, maintain good external genital hygiene in daily life.
