Green vaginal discharge is from yeast infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

Don't worry because green vaginal discharges without smell is a sign of yeast infection .
Was the green vaginal discharge presented with smell / odor ?

You are currently on treatment for yeast infection and there is nothing to worry.

Try to use much more water and Sit'z baths adding white apple cider vinegar.

Iv had an infection for a very long time now. Was on anti biotic before then drinking a lot of water then I had this bright yellow discharge with smell and white gush type and water was in fear of leakage of amniotic fluid so went for a scan and everything was normal Alhamdullilah. And now today a small green dot and like always all the dischRge always has an odour even if it's water. What do I do?

Brief Answer:
Need more details ...

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again!

First of all, do not worry because you are in time to treat all infections you may have .

Second I will need more details to help you:

How many days have you used Clotrimazol pessaries so far ?
Do you remember what type of infection did you have ?
Is the first pregnancy and if not , did you have the same issue ?
What kind of bad smell does look like your vaginal secretion, is it like bread/ beer or spoiled fish/ rotten egg ?

Usually yeast infections have white to yellow cottage like vaginal discharges with itching and burning sensation without odor but when overrides by any bacterial infection, then they have bad smell like spoiled fish.

I will be waiting fro your answers.


Good bless you

Hi this is my first pregnancy. 2 days Iv uses the pessary and then we went away and I forgot to use them came back home and started again then forgot to put yesterday.

I was diagnosed with bacterial viagnosis and yeast infections before it was bright yellow then after using the loo I would like a hot gush watery sometimes milky white come out and that's when I was scared it was leaking from ambitioc fluid went for a scan and baby heartbeat and everything was normal Alhamdullilah .

This is my first pregnancy. Today I'm exact 19 weeks and the smell is like yeah rotten fish sometimes like contaminated urine. Today I just saw a mint green dot like a small dot then I put tissue inside to check if there's more and nothing came out. So yeah

Brief Answer:
It is due to bacterial vaginosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear!

Green vaginal discharges with smell odor like rotten fish and your history of bacterial vaginosis show us that you have both yeast infection with bacterial vaginosis.

Hence try to contact with your follow up gynecologist because bacterial vaginosis should be treated with antibiotics (eg. METRONIDAZOLE), because non treatment of bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy can cause premature birth.

Clotrimazole needs to be used for 5 to 7 days .

All the best
