Frothy, yellow-green discharge is a classic symptom of trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It is characterized by a foul-smelling discharge, itching, and pain during urination or intercourse. Vaginitis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia may also cause discharge, but their color and consistency may be different, and other symptoms may be present as well.
