I've been experiencing yellowish discharge and a weird odor from my vagina for about 3 weeks, which has been constant. The discharge is of a moderate texture, not too thick or too liquidy. My periods are regular, with the last one starting 29 days ago and the current one just starting today. I've only had oral sex with one partner in the past 3 months and have no unusual cramps, itchiness, or other symptoms. I've never had an STD screen or been diagnosed with an STD.
