Yellow vaginal discharge is caused by inflammation, excessive internal heat, etc. When the discharge is slightly yellow but not accompanied by abnormal consistency or increased volume, it usually indicates insufficient water intake, leading to thicker discharge and internal heat. It's important to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and maintain regular bowel movements. If bacteria invade the vagina, it may cause gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis, resulting in yellow-colored and abnormal vaginal discharge.
