Is it a yeast infection or STD?
Yeast infections aren't an STD. They aren't contagious, and can't spread to another person during sex. But sexual contact sometimes leads to yeast infections — your body chemistry can have a bad reaction to another person's natural genital yeast and bacteria, which causes yeast to grow.
What color is chlamydia discharge?
The discharge can appear to be milky and white in colour; however, discharge caused by chlamydia does not always look the same. It can vary from woman to woman; therefore any changes to the discharge that you normally produce could be a sign of infection.
