What Causes Yellow Discharge From Clitoris?
Question: What bacteria is this? I have had a brownish/yellowish discharge from my clitoris for weeks now. I went to a woman doctor who examined and said it looked red, like a skin scrape, and she took a swab. The results were sent to my family doctor who said it is a bacteria that sounds like gonorrhea, but he said don't worry it's not. He prescribed a 5 day course of metronidazole 500mg, one capsule, twice a day.
