Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

A yellow tongue indicates accumulation of bacteria.Your hormonal irregularity can add to this.
These bacteria then release certain chemical to make the tongue yellow in color.

Have adequate water 3 liter per day.Reduce consumption of caffeinated beverages.Maintain oral hygiene and floss daily.
Use a mild mouth wash thrice a week.

Cleanse your tongue regularly using a tongue blade.Quit any tobacco and alcoholic habits.

Regards.
