Brief Answer:
Bacterial vaginosis

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are having a vaginal discharge. At this point you do not know exactly what is causing your discharge. You will need to see your primary care doctor or be seen in an urgent care for examination. In the examination they will take samples of the discharge from your vagina along with cultures and run tests on them. The most common causes of vaginal discharge are bacterial vaginosis and candida or yeast infections. Both infections do require antibiotic treatment.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
