Certain disorders can cause vaginal problems. While it is normal for a woman to have vaginal discharge, vaginal discharge that is not clear, milky white, or yellow-colored differs from normal vaginal secretions. Commonly, a vaginal disorder will occur when the balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted. In some cases, this results from an overgrowth of yeast or bacteria. Vaginal yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis are two common vaginal disorders that ultimately lead to infection. Vaginal yeast infections are treated with anti-fungal medication taken orally or applied to the vagina with a cream. Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotics.
