What vaginal infection or vaginal condition would likely cause yellow and light brownish discharge on underwear? could yeast cause this light brown color? doesnt look like old blood, this is not post-menstrual cycle related.

Several types: Vaginal discharge can be caused by several types of infections in sexually active women. Yeast infections cause discharge but usually significant itching as well. Trichomonas is usually a yellow discharge; bacterial vaginosis is often grayish with fishy odor. Dr exam can help differentiate because treatments are different.
