Is Yellow-Green Discharge Normal Before My Period?

Your body naturally adjusts the amount and appearance of vaginal discharge during your cycle. Many people see clear or white discharge that sometimes becomes thicker. However, yellow-green discharge is not usually part of the normal changes that happen before a period. It can indicate that something else is happening, such as inflammation or an infection. Infections may cause discharge that is yellow or green in color along with other signs like a strong odor, itching, or irritation. In some cases, cervical secretions or mild irritation might change the color of the discharge, but it is important to look for additional symptoms that signal a problem. If you notice extra discomfort, changes in odor, or other signs, it is a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider. They can perform an evaluation to determine the cause of the change and help decide if treatment or additional tests are needed. Staying aware of your body’s signals is important, and addressing changes early helps keep you healthy.
