I haven't had any sexual intercourse, my period is regular, and I actually went in for a checkup where they told me everything looked normal. Sometimes it gets itchy and my vulva looks red. Since I’m not sexually active, the doctor didn't take a cervical swab, just a vaginal one, and prescribed Rivanol cream. I don't get how the results can be "normal" if I'm clearly having issues with this discharge—is there any chance the tests were wrong? I honestly have no clue what this could be. If anyone knows the answers to this, I’d really appreciate it :S

If the discharge is white, it's most likely Candida albicans—a fungus.
It can happen because your immune system is down or maybe you've been on antibiotics.
Or, it could be E. coli from your digestive tract.
Go buy some vaginal suppositories.

The discharge itself is a sort of beige color—I’m not quite sure how else to describe it—but other than that, I haven't noticed anything else particularly unusual.

My period ended about 4 or 5 days ago, though it actually lasted a little longer than my usual cycle.

About a month ago, I dealt with a bacterial infection, which seems to be something I struggle with quite frequently.

I had my last pelvic exam three months ago and everything was fine, and my most recent Pap test was done about a year ago.

Do you think I have any reason to worry?

Thanks. 🙂

If the discharge is that color or brownish, and since your period just ended a few days ago, it could honestly just be leftover blood.

And you mentioned having an infection, so that could be a factor too.
Discharge like that happens all the time due to ovarian inflammation or something similar.

Try drinking some cranberry tea or pick up some vaginal suppositories.😉
