Greenish vaginal discharge can be a sign of an infection and should be checked by a doctor to find out the exact cause and get proper treatment.
When you notice greenish vaginal discharge, it might mean there is an infection in your reproductive system. This type of discharge is not normal and could be caused by bacteria or a sexually transmitted infection such as trichomoniasis. Other types of infections like bacterial imbalances can also lead to abnormal discharge. If you experience this kind of change, it’s important to pay attention to other symptoms such as itching, irritation, a strong odor, or discomfort during urination or sex. Seeing a healthcare provider is a good idea because they can ask about your symptoms and run tests to figure out what is happening. Once a diagnosis is made, the doctor can suggest the right treatment, like medicine, to help clear up the infection. Remember, getting checked early can help prevent any complications and make sure you feel better soon.
