What Does Orange Vaginal Discharge After Periods Indicate?

Hi, it’s been 3 days since I stopped my period. Today I had to urinate very badly and when I wiped there was orange discharge. I’ve been checked very recently for STD’s STI’s and have nothing. I get the occasional yeast infection but that’s it. I’ve been with the same person for a year. What could this discharge be? We are trying to conceive.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Well, the cause of orange vaginal discharge is common and usually harmless issue. Occasional spotting between periods might have this appearance and can be normal, especially if you're taking low-dose birth control pills. So in most cases this is not sign of disease. If it is, then usually this indicates bacterial vaginosis, STD or polycstic ovarian syndrome. Less common, some other hormonal disorders may be present. In some cases, however, a yellow or brown vaginal discharge could indicate a serious problem. Although brown and yellow vaginal discharge often does not indicate a serious problem, it should not be ignored if it persists, recurs or is accompanied by other symptoms and that you should see gynecologist for further work up.
