General & Family Physician 's  Response
Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

whenever there is change in discharge colour, it's advisable that you should visit your GP/ Family physician or more specifically OBGYN for proper evaluation and timely management.

The two conditions which cause orange coloured vaginal discharge are
1) . bacterial vaginosis
and
2). trichomoniasis

Bacterial Vaginosis is basically an overgrowth of a naturally occurring bacteria called Gardnerella Vaginalis. This causes vaginal itching and fowl smelling vaginal discharge
while
Trichomoniasis is caused by a parasite. It can cause vaginal itching, painful intercourse, and fowl smelling vaginal discharge.
Both of them are treatable with the antibiotic therapy.

and whether you should be concerned or not?
Yes, you should be concerned and seek medical consultation .

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
