Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Constant, Smelly, Yellow Vaginal Discharge Suggest?
I have been having a discharge since 1996. It s constant and a little yellow sometimes. I smell a lot now so I have to roll a little piece of cloth everyday that am going out to stop from leaking and keep the odor in. When I take it out in the evenings, it looks just like wet tissue on the cloth.
Yellow vaginal discharge with unpleasant odor and that looks like a wet tissue is suggestive of an bacterial infection or a sexually transmitted infection. The causes of yellow discharge can be chlamydia, trichomoniasis or even yeast infections. My advice is to do a vaginal swab test and to consult your local OBGYN for the right diagnosis and treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
I recommend consulting with your gynecologist for physical exam and performing some tests: - A vaginal discharge bacterial culture and a vaginal strip - A PAP test and colposcopy may be needed - An abdominal ultrasound in order to examine your uterus.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
