Dr. Shahruq Sarela answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Discharge: Is the discharge from the vaginal area or from your rectum. If it's from a vaginal area could be a change in the pH in the bacterial flora that's not actually in your vagina. If you're sexually active I would check for an STD. If it's gray it may be gardenella. Usually it has a fishy odor!
