Any discharge that is present more than a couple of days or when associated with other symptoms should be evaluated by a medical professional, preferably your PCP or an OB/GYN. Please make appointment to see someone in person (not virtual visit), in case cultures need to be obtained.

Suggestive of yeast vaginitis. Often treated with a single dose of fluconazole or clotrimazole suppository. See your PCP for proper treatment.
