Brief Answer:
Orange vaginal discharge indicating vaginitis (vaginal infection)....

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

The rusty orange discharge along with irritation but with no foul odor are indicating vaginitis (vaginal infection).

I highly recommend to run a vaginal swab testing to determine:
- the type of infections
- rule out the presence of trichomoniasis (which is also associated with orange discharge)

After we have the report, we can decide for best treatment strategy: antibiotics and vaginal ovules.

Please keep good genital hygiene, avoid unprotected sexual habits.
Hope this helped!
