I'm experiencing yellow discharge after using Monistat for a suspected yeast infection. The white discharge started yesterday, and the yellow started around 2 PM today. I have irritation and vaginal burning or itching, but no noticeable odor or sores. My last period started on July 27th and ended around August 1st. I had sexual intercourse on Saturday and a few days before, but I haven't had any recent check-ups or pap smears. I have inappropriate tachycardia and POT syndrome. What could be causing this discharge, and what should I do?

I am 21 years old and have never been to an OB/GYN. I have symptoms of PCOS such as hair loss/thinning, skin darkening, skin tags, obesity, and iron deficiency anemia. I also have anxiety and recently noticed dark discharge from my vagina. Do you think these are symptoms of PCOS, and if so, what does this mean for my health and potential treatment options? Additionally, what impact does PCOS have on pregnancy and life expectancy, and what is the direct cause of PCOS?
