Greenish discharge on tampon, please help!
Hello!
I am 22 and have been sexually active again just August of this year. On the same day that I first had sex with my partner, I got my period and it was my first time using tampons. Even since then, I’ve been using tampons. Whenever I remove it, I see some light green stuff on it and I am worried that I may be infected with something. There’s no odor and I only get a bit itchy down there when I am about to have my period. Is this something that I should worry about? And is this something that can affect my partner? When I use napkins instead of tampons, there’s no discharge so I am thinking that it might only be visible or something when I use a tampon. Thank you!
