2. White. Candida is one of the most frequent. The flow changes to a white and lumpy color, like cut milk, which itches and usually sticks to the walls of the vagina. It is exacerbated in the pre-menstrual period.

3. Yellow Produced by parasites, the most typical trichomonas, which can be acquired by sexual transmission, give a greenish yellow flow, which is more frequent in the days after menstruation. The vulva (the external female genital organs) may be sore and sore and intercourse may also cause pain.

4. Gray It is due to the presence of a germ called gardnerella, which is sexually transmitted. The flow is grayish white, has a strong foul odor, like fish. The gardnerella associated with other anaerobic germs, produces what some authors call the ecological catastrophe of the vagina. In these cases, the anaerobes from which the gardnerella feeds are attacked.
