Unusual vaginal discharge can be classified into several types based on its characteristics. Here are some common types:
Thick, White Discharge: Often associated with yeast infections, this type of discharge resembles cottage cheese and may be accompanied by itching and irritation. Yellow or Green Discharge: This type of discharge can indicate a bacterial infection or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as trichomoniasis. It is often accompanied by a foul odor. Grayish Discharge: A grayish discharge with a fishy odor may be a sign of bacterial vaginosis (BV). Brown or Bloody Discharge: This can occur due to irregular menstrual cycles, but it may also be a sign of more serious conditions such as cervical cancer or polyps.
