Vaginal discharge (foul-smelling, grey or greenish)
Foul-smelling vaginal discharge that appears grey or greenish usually indicates an infection. Normal discharge is typically clear or white and mild-smelling. A change in colour, consistency, or odour suggests bacterial or other microbial imbalance that needs treatment. Common causes include bacterial vaginosis (most common cause of fishy odour), trichomoniasis (sexually transmitted infection) and forgotten tampon or foreign body.
