Hi Techno...
I think you are talking about bacterial vaginosis... cause only in BV, there is excessive white or gray vaginal discharge with a milk-like consistency that can stain undergarments.

As far as I know patient usually when come to outdoor treatment that they have staining in their undergarments, but it turns to black probably due to lack of their persona hygeine, not due to the discharge is black.

And you know BV is not always "caught" from another person. someone can develop BV if she is not even sexually active, although it is more common in women who are sexually active.
BV is associated with premature delivery, low birth weight, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

But their is no association with UTI. But as BV is an overgrowth of bacteria that are normally in the vagina ascending infection can cause UTI, I guess.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you
