There are several different types of vaginal discharge. These types are categorized based on their color and consistency. Some types of discharge are normal. Others may indicate an underlying condition that requires treatment.
According to Mayoclinic, here are what the colour of discharge indicates in the body.
Red discharge
Red discharge is most commonly the result of bleeding during a period. Menstrual bleeding happens, on average, around every 28 days, though the normal range between 21 and 35 days. A period typically lasts for 3–5 days.
Anyone who experiences bleeding when they are not on their periods should see a doctor. Though there are many benign causes of intermenstrual bleeding, it can sometimes signal a serious condition.
Yellow discharge
Yellow discharge could be a sign of an STI like gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomoniasis, especially when it comes with symptoms like itching and burning.
Milky white
This is another common and normal discharge, however, if milky white discharge is coming along with other symptoms such as itchiness, it can mean a yeast infection. Again, the quantity of this discharge also depends on your monthly cycle and is usually more in the first half of the cycle.
