Is green discharge common with a yeast infection?

Green discharge is not common with a yeast infection. Yeast infections usually cause thick, white, cottage cheese–like discharge, not green discharge.

Explanation

A yeast infection usually causes a thick white discharge that might look like cottage cheese, and it often comes with itching or irritation. Green discharge is not something you normally see with yeast infections. When someone has green discharge, it might be a sign of another condition or infection, such as certain sexually transmitted infections or bacterial infections. If you notice green discharge or any change in your usual discharge pattern, it is important to talk with your healthcare provider. T Always remember that every person is different, and a healthcare professional is the best person to explain what might be happening with your body. This information is based on the medical literature and is provided to help you understand common symptoms and possible causes.
