Black-grayish Discharge?

did you ever hear of a female having black-greyish discharge?

No I haven’t heard of any female having black-grayish discharge, I have heard of yellow, green and grayish, but never black-grayish. Although it could just be a dark gray that looks like, I donno. Here are a few things I got from online and I link so you can read more about them. Though I think it would be best to go to a Doctor about this and find out what it really is. That way it can be fixed the right way.

Signs of an Abnormal Vaginal Discharge

Some signs that may indicate an abnormal vaginal discharge and infection include:
•  Changes in color, consistency, or amount
•  Constant, increased vaginal discharge
•  Presence of itching, discomfort, or any rash
•  Vaginal burning during urination
•  The presence of blood when it’s not your period time
•  Cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge
•  A foul odor accompanied by yellowish, greenish, or grayish white vaginal discharge

Trichomoniasis Vaginal Infection  Symptoms . Trichomoniasis, like many other STDs, often occurs without any symptoms. Men almost never have symptoms. When women have symptoms, they usually appear within four to 20 days of exposure. The symptoms in women include a heavy, yellow-green or gray vaginal discharge, discomfort during intercourse, vaginal odor, and painful urination. Irritation and itching of the female genital area, and on rare occasions, lower abdominal pain also can be present. The symptoms in men, if present, include a thin, whitish discharge from the penis and painful or difficult urination.

A vaginal discharge is considered abnormal if it is

• heavier than usual
• thicker than usual 
• puslike  
• white and clumpy (like cottage cheese) 
• grayish, greenish, yellowish, or blood-tinged  
• foul-smelling (fishy) 
• accompanied by itching, burning, a rash, or soreness.

A white, gray, or yellowish cloudy discharge with a foul or fishy odor is typically caused by bacterial vaginosis. A thick, white, and clumpy discharge (which looks like cottage cheese) is typically caused by candidiasis, a yeast infection. A heavy, greenish yellow, frothy discharge that may have a bad odor is typically caused by trichomoniasis, a protozoan infection.

Vaginal Discharge

• Thick, white cottage cheese-like discharge, itching, irritated skin—yeast infection, or candidiasis. Women with diabetes and those taking antibiotics are more likely to develop this type of infection. Most women will have at least one yeast infection at some point in their lives.
• Thin, yellow, foul-smelling discharge—Trichomonas, which is usually transmitted sexually.
• Thin, gray or white, foul-smelling discharge—bacterial vaginosis.

Bacterial Vaginosis – The most obvious sign of bacterial infection is an unpleasant foul, often fishy odor. Itching and/or burning sometimes accompany bacterial infections, but are not a required symptom for a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.

Many times women are unaware they are infected until they are diagnosed during a routine pelvic exam and Pap smear. It is important that you don’t use vaginal douches during the few days preceding your visit to your gynecologist as douching can hide signs of infection and may make bacterial vaginosis infections worse.
