Yellowish vaginal discharge may be caused by vaginal inflammation. Normal vaginal discharge is typically colorless and odorless; if it turns yellow, vaginal inflammation should be considered first. It is recommended to have a vaginal discharge test and receive timely symptomatic treatment. Individuals who are sexually active may occasionally experience mild bacterial infections, but treatment is usually unnecessary if there are no abnormal symptoms. Avoid using cleansers or detergents to wash the vagina, as they may cause irritation—washing with warm water is sufficient.
