Yellow vaginal discharge is usually caused by inflammation or diseases, most commonly due to vaginal infections. If there is no foul odor or symptoms such as vulvar itching, you can rinse the external genital area with clean water, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid local friction. With the above measures, vaginal discharge may improve without the need for specific medication. However, if symptoms persist despite these interventions, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital.
