Hello,

Are you having any itching or pain?

Are you sexually active? Have you had a new partner recently?

Ok, thank you....are you having any fever? Burning with urination?

Fishy odor at all?

Thank you. The green discharge, as you probably have figured out, is indicative of a vaginal infection. A fishy odor is most commonly due to an infection called bacterial vaginosis. This is not an STD...it is due to an imbalance of the bacteria that are normally found in the vagina.

Your doctor will do a vaginal exam and take samples of the discharge.

She will then look under the microscope.

If it looks like vaginosis, she will prescribe medication called Flagyl.

Green discharge can also be a sign of an infection called trichomonas. This is an STD....however if you are in a monogamous relationship, this would be highly unlikely...

Bacterial vaginosis would be the more likely cause.

Have you had regular pap smears?

But prior to this year?

Cervical cancer takes years to develop. It does not develop in one year. Green discharge is a sign of infection.

Cervical cancer more commonly will present with bleeding.

You are very welcome. Feel free to ask any follow up questions you may have,

Dr Abby
