Several factors can contribute to unusual vaginal discharge. These include:
Infections: Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can alter the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina, leading to abnormal discharge. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, menopause, or menstrual cycles can affect vaginal discharge. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis can cause unusual discharge. Foreign Bodies: Objects such as tampons or contraceptive devices left in the vagina for an extended period can cause infection and discharge.
