yellow discharge
Wound's amber seepage
Yellow discharge refers to bodily fluid—typically from the vagina, penis, eyes, ears, or wounds—that has taken on a yellowish color.
In medical contexts, yellow discharge often signals infection or inflammation: The doctor noted yellow discharge and prescribed antibiotics.
Vaginal discharge naturally varies in color throughout the menstrual cycle, but thick yellow discharge with odor or irritation usually warrants medical attention.
From wounds, yellow discharge may indicate pus formation as the body fights bacteria.
