Other symptoms of gonorrhea and chlamydia include pain when urinating and pain during intimate contact and treatment can be done with antibiotics.

The yellowish discharge in pregnancy can be caused by trichomoniasis, which can lead to premature delivery or a low birth weight newborn.

Treatment for yellowing discharge
Treatment for yellow-green discharge with foul-smelling odor caused by trichomoniasis in both men and women can be done with the use of antibiotic and antiparasitic drugs such as Metronidazole, Secnidazole or Tinidazole.
Treatment for yellowing of gonorrhea or chlamydia can be done with antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone, Azithromycin, or Ciprofloxacin.
The partner should also do the treatment, even if it does not show symptoms, to prevent the individual from being contaminated again. The treatment of yellowing of the woman should be indicated by the gynecologist and in the man by the urologist.
During treatment, it is recommended:
Use a condom to avoid contaminating the partner.
Avoid making vaginal douches because the showers remove the bacterial layer of the intimate region responsible for protecting that region from infections.
Avoid using perfumes or intimate hygiene sprays as they alter the vaginal pH.
Wear cotton underwear, because cotton does not cause irritation.
Avoid wearing tight pants or shorts, preferring to use salts or dresses to allow the area to air.
Another tip for the treatment of yellow discharge is to avoid internal absorbents, preferring the external ones.
