What Causes Green Discharge During 6th Week Of Pregnancy?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...dear sir, i am 6 weeks pregnant with occassional green discharge streaked with blood which i belive is from my cervical erosion. the problem is i lost my last baby at 20 weeks due to chorioamnionits with strep b, staphaureus, ecoli colonisation on the high vaginal swab and on the placenta post mortem. I continue to be a strep b carrier and am terrified that this green cervicla erosion discharge is the perfect medium for a repeat episode of chrioamnionitis. my obsterician says statistically i am no more at risk than the next woman despite my history and that he will treat the strep b at 14 weeks although it will probably recolinise itself within weeks of treatment. Is there any thing more that can be done? I wish i had , had the erosion cauterised prior to pregnancy although it didnt affect my first pregnancy at all and i have a healthy 3.5 year old daughter. any advise would be greatly appreciated,

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concern. It is very unfortunate to have lost the pregnancy. Your obstetrician is the better judge in this matter though I would suggest a vaginal and cervical swab along with urinalysis to detect the cause of this discharge. Vaginal applications may be used with caution if needed though oral treatment is not prescribed for fungal or Trichomonial infections at this stage of pregnancy. Your past infection need not necessarily recur. Yet, you should be watchful. Please maintain proper genital hygiene and avoid intercourse. Drink plenty of water. Hope this helps.
