Hello ma'am.

I understand you are worried, but the reason why most of the specialists are not really worried is because a yellowish discharge is not a sign of concern.

In my opinion the most likely cause could either be a hormonal imbalance or anatomical changes resulting in expulsion of fluid resulting from an infection. The fact that all the doctors have physically examined you and ruled out all structural abnormalities is relaxing. Please go ahead with a hormonal check which could really be the cause for such a presentation.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
