Green vaginal discharge

30 replies

Over the past few years I seem to be getting a lot of vaginal discharge. It it's like cervical mucous but like a light snotty green colour.

When I first had it years ago I contacted my GP who said it's definitely not a sexually transmitted disease and I guess it would've made me ill or been obvious if it was since there was no treatment. Surely I would suffer from it if it was and also my husband has no issues.

I have a 4yr old and 19m old and have pretty much breastfed since I had my first born. Just a few months gap in between becoming pregnant and giving birth to the youngest.

But now it have copious amounts of it. Any time I'm at the toilet and wipe there is always a big blob of this greeny discharge. When I've tried to take a photo of it, it just looks creamy coloured and not as green as it does in real-life.

Would this just be my hormones causing this? Does anyone else have this?

Sounds similar to me, although mine changes colour and consistency throughout the month,
I've had all tests. All negative.
I do think bright white toilet paper can change the appearance of the actual colour.
Are you still getting it op?

Yep still getting it. Our toilet paper is very white so maybe that does make it look worse sometimes.
I definitely notice a reduction through the month and then it peaks again so I wonder if it is related to my hormone levels. They must be playing havoc as breastfeeding is all over the place at the mo.
I should really track it to see if there is a trend.

No word of a lie, and sounds bizarre but mine looks different colour depending also the light of the bathroom! Like has the more light green tint at home, but work toilets it looks just cream. I think we would definitely know if there was something up, and perhaps we are looking more closely at it as it's not white which the internet suggests is the norm! Friends of mine, some have similar to. I would not have thought anything of it had I not come across a article proclaiming that discharge should be white, anything else is not normal. I've had fluctuations of several colours, cream, yellowy, slightest green tint, white, clear, since forever!

Nope. No smell, no itch.
I'm certain of its just a hormonal thing. But it's annoying!

You're probably right. If you're feeding your baby more, your hormones are working harder.
Who can work it out hey? 🤷‍♀️
Our bodies can be a mystery.

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy I just wanted to check if you are still getting this?
This is exactly what I’m getting 5 months postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. All tests have also come back negative.
