Accepted Answer

Depends: Stool, urine, ejaculate? Spilled food? All of these could cause a crusty yellow stain.

Question 2

my vagina smells like fish and everyday when i go to the bathroom there is this crusty stain on my underwear. help?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis: Most likely you have bv, an overgrowth of vaginal bacteria that requires very specific
prescription medication. Often, semen also can have a very distinct odor. Have him wear a condom to see if it helps. Also, see your healthcare provider if it doesn't resolve.

Question 3

what cause brown stain in your underwear?

Accepted Answer

One possibility is: Fecal smudging. A second (if you are female) is older, deoxygenated blood from the vagina.

Question 4

is it normal to have wet stains in your underwear? safe nothing wrong with it

Accepted Answer

Maybe leukorrhea: Female? Leukorrhea is a normal cause to have wet stains in the underwear. It is a combination of sloughed cells & vaginal secretions that can be clear to white. It can dry white to slightly yellow or tan in underwear. A symptomatic discharge should be evaluated.

Question 5

hello,so ive been experiencing brown stains in my underwear for a really long time and i was wondering why?

Accepted Answer

Some things: to consider:)  A female has three openings in the perineum (bottom) for important bodily functions--the urethra for urine, the vagina for reproductive function and the anus for bowel defecation. The most likely source of discharge would be the vagina...brownish material indicating old blood from menses. More rare would be rectal staining indicating malfunction of anal sphincter.Needs eval from Doc

Question 6

if i am new to sex is it normal to have light pink stains on underwear during the first few times? thank you :)

Accepted Answer

Sex: Yes this is common. You probably have small micro  tears in the vaginal canal from penile entry. The small amount of blood is mixing with vaginal secretions and causing a pink frothy residue. Just clean your vagina after sex to prevent urinary tract infections, with water and non abrasive cleansers.

Question 7

by the end of the day once i get home and undress i always have this kind of gooy crusty stuff in my underwear. what is it and how can i stop it?

Accepted Answer

Possible Vaginitis: Need to have culture done to determine if its an infection , then take the proper antibiotic or treatment.

Question 8

i notice green stains on my underwear regularly for the last few months (very strong green). what could this be? (i'm not taking any meds anymore)

Accepted Answer

The Tide is Coming: Too bad Saint Patrick's Day isn't anywhere's near. But save your underwear for next March 17th. What meds have you stopped taking? Certain meds can turn the urine a light greenish color. So can an infection!! -Even if you don't hurt. I don't imagine your penis has been coughing up green sputum, so see a doctor for this ASAP. What you save on the Tide laundry detergent will help pay for the visit.

Question 9

Does OBGYN know?: Bleeding noted on underwear can come from several sources. One of the biggest concerns is bleeding from the uterus or placenta. An OB doctor would want to know about recurring or heavy bleeding.
