Period: Yellow discharge means what?
So I've been off my period for about a week or so and I have yellow discharge. I've looked up what it means & it says infections. Well I'm not itchy or anything. It's just yellow. Is it normal?

Your vagina is its own ecosystem and when healthy, it cleans itself out. I'm in menopaurse now but remember Between periods finding a yellow crust like secretion dried on my panties. Sometimes some hairs dried in with it so I felt a twinge like someone yanking hairs when I tried to remove panties. That is all natural. Nothing to worry about. If no itching or bad odor, all is well.
I may as well warn you now that using soap or douches can and will upset the natural balance of the bacterias in your vaginal area. There are good bacteria there that help keep the bad bacteria from overtaking and causing vaginitis and other infections. Using soaps and douches washes away and kills the good bacteria. Just use plain water in a sitz bath or in your shower, swish a couple fingers around inside you and rinse off any residue that comes out with. Plain water on the labia is enough to cleanse also.
