What to Do
See a healthcare professional: A gynecologist or primary care doctor can properly diagnose the cause and recommend treatment.
Avoid self-medicating: Over-the-counter creams or antibiotics without guidance may worsen the issue.
Practice good hygiene: Wear breathable underwear, change pads or tampons regularly, and avoid harsh soaps.
Track your symptoms: Keeping a record of color, odor, and timing can help your doctor identify the cause.
Bottom Line
Not all discharge is cause for concern, but stains on underwear that differ from your normal discharge deserve attention. Prompt evaluation can prevent complications, ensure proper treatment, and help you maintain reproductive and overall health.
