Yellowish Green Vaginal Discharge
I've ignored this problem for so long, I can't even remember when I first noticed it. At first my discharge was getting whiter instead of the usual clear color. Eventually it became yellowish green. Currently it is light greenish with a texture that reminds me of something like boogers. I ignored my problem though because it never really bothered me---I was never itchy or in pain. I know I will need to visit a doctor; it's inevitable. But I'd like to know--- is this something extremely serious? Any ideas on what it could be? I really need to brace myself. I am a virgin and have never had sex.
Bubble baths can cause yeast infections, if taken to often, because it causes an unbalance of normal flora.
i am 27 years old. im having light green yellowish discharge it was white in colour in the beginning. the discharge started after antibiotic course. i thought it is candidiasis, and used fluconazol for 1 month 1 capsule per week but it didnt get better. im still having this and im very tense please help me.
Hi,
I am 36 with no kids and have this snotty green discharge now for 8 years. I have tried everything, from taking antibiotics, vaginal jels, rephresh, ladybalance, accupunture, herbal remedies, natural yohurt, apple cider vinegar, garlic and nothing works. I had spear tests and swap tests and everthing is fine there.
Is there a CURE anyone ???

I think a lot of what folks are describing is a yeast infection (girls--just taking birth control alone can deplete good bacteria and set you up for yeast infection,) or BV, or HPV for those who are sexually active.
What I have not seen posted on this thread much is HPV which is widely misunderstood and VERY rampant. I have seen statistics say something like 80% of women over the age of 30 have it. It can cause itching, little red bumps, redness around opening of vagina, swollen areas (technically 'warts' but look like raised areas of more light colored skin tags around opening,) and thick cottage cheese like dicharge. You can come back as being "negative" for STD tests but still have HPV. Basically, I have read that if you are a sexually active adult to expect to have HPV.
My holistic doctor recommends flushing out the vagina with water daily or twice daily if there is discharge or yeast suspected. (You have to get a specific plastic bag with tube you can insert inside the vagina, sometimes they have these at pharmacy for "home enemas" but you can use it for vagina instead.) When candida "die off" like if you are taking Diflucan, it produces a discharge that causes itch.
Definitely avoid sugar and take probiotics. If folks suspect it's HPV, I'd take 1500mg lysine at night. Not sure if folks know, if you ever feel a cold sore coming on, take 1500mg lysine and it will go away in 5 days, something about lysine helps with virus, so that's why I'm suggesting it here, see if it helps reduce your symptoms. The running theory on HPV is basically the symptoms will go away with time, but you need to see doctor if you see any skin tag/wart/growths and they get bigger as you can put acid on them to make them dissolve and you want to go to the gyn to make sure it's not an infection.

you are suppossed to go and get a pap smear every year but only once you have been sexually active!
NOT before! and even then some offices wont give you a pap smear is you are under 21!
it's so annoying! i am 20 years old, i've had one pap smear which came back abnormal and i went to get another one and they denied me one even though my previous one was abnormal just because i was not atleast 21!
