Hello this can be normal discharge as it doesn’t have odour And chances are there if infection even if you have single partner if he has multiple partners
Kindly get a cbc and vaginal swab culture to know the further treatment
Till then Use Vwash to clean your vaginal area Wear cotton undergarments Avoid scratching or tight clothing Take probiotic rich diet
Grayish discharge with itching may suggest a vaginal infection like bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection, even without a new partner. Since you recently took a pill, it could also disturb your normal vaginal flora. Please consult a gynecologist for a pelvic exam and simple swab test, as proper diagnosis is needed before treatment.

Gray discharge can be indicative of bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common yet manageable condition in women. It’s worth noting that itching and discharge like what you’re describing may often suggest an imbalance of bacteria within the vagina. While BV doesn’t require having multiple partners to develop, it can be associated with changes in the vaginal environment. Taking antibiotics or hormonal medications, such as birth control pills, may contribute to this imbalance, although a clear cause isn’t always identifiable. While BV frequently has a stronger odor, the symptoms you’re experiencing can still align with it. It’s generally recommended to confirm this diagnosis through a simple examination or test at your healthcare provider’s office. They might perform a pelvic exam and take a sample of the discharge to ascertain the cause. If BV is confirmed, treatment often involves prescribed antibiotics, either in oral or cream/gel form, which usually resolve the symptoms quickly. However, untreated BV might increase the risk of more serious infections if left unchecked, so timely attention is wise. I’d strongly suggest making an appointment with your doctor to discuss your symptoms, get a diagnosis, and start appropriate treatment. Also, avoid douching or using scented products as they can worsen irritation or discharge. Meantime, maintain good personal hygiene, wear breathable cotton underwear, and keep note of any changes in your symptoms or new developments.
