Describe the colors of vaginal discharges.

Vaginal discharge can vary in color depending on a variety of factors, including menstrual cycle, hormonal changes, and infections.

1. Clear or white: Normal vaginal discharge is usually clear or white in color. It may be thin or thick and may have a mild odor.

2. Yellow or green: Yellow or green vaginal discharge can be a sign of an infection, such as bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. It may also indicate the presence of a sexually transmitted infection.

3. Brown or bloody: Brown or bloody vaginal discharge can occur at the beginning or end of a menstrual period, or it may be a sign of implantation bleeding in early pregnancy. It can also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as cervical or endometrial cancer.

4. Gray or frothy: Gray or frothy vaginal discharge may be a sign of bacterial vaginosis, a common vaginal infection.

It is important to pay attention to any changes in the color, consistency, or odor of vaginal discharge and to consult a healthcare provider if there are any concerns.
