Hello,

Thanks for the query.

Although this may be a yeast infection but the fact is that diagnosis should not be made just on the basis of color of vaginal discharge.

Such yellow discharge can also occur in bacterial vaginitis, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea etc.
I would urge you to consult a doctor and get yourself evaluated by getting a vaginal swab test. This would help you to get the infection detected in the earlier stage.

Once the cause is known, a proper and effective treatment can be instituted to you. Anti-fungals are available for fungal infections.

I hope it helps. You may revert to me for any further query.

Best of luck
Thanks
