Changes in vaginal discharge can also be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI, sometimes referred to as a sexually transmitted disease or STD). Many women have no idea they've been infected until they notice unexpected changes in vaginal secretions.

Some STIs that trigger changes in vaginal discharge include:

• Trichomoniasis: This is caused by a protozoan parasite. It can cause a greenish or yellow vaginal discharge, discomfort and a fish-like odor
• Chlamydia: This is a sexually transmitted bacteria that can cause yellow, greenish or cloudy vaginal discharge. Infected women may also experience urinary discomfort
• Gonorrhea: Its symptoms can include increased vaginal discharge, painful urination and bleeding between periods. In women, the discharge can be white or take on a greenish hue.
