What Causes Yellowish Green Vaginal Discharge?
Hi, good day. I ve been in my OB yesterday for check up because I had like yellowish-greenish discharges with foul odor for a couple of days, that was the first time I ve ever seen discharges color like that. I m scared that something s going on with my body so I rushed to my OB. She gave me an Albothyl (3 pcs) to be inserted every other night. I forgot to ask if it s an infection or what? the causes? is it transferable to your partner? I ll be so happy and grateful if you can answer my question. Thank you so much and Godbless

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Yellowish green vaginal discharge is mainly due to vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia or mixed infections.
SO yes it is mainly due to vaginal infection.
It is sexually transmitted so avoid sexual intercourse till you get better.
I generally prescribed following medicine and advice in vaginal infection like bacterial vaginosis:
Vaginal and pelvic examination is needed and swab can be taken to diagnose vaginal infection (swab test).
Urine test should be done. It should be treated by
Metronidazole plus clotrimazole orally or vaginally suppository.
Use lactobacilli suppository. Wear pure cotton loose undergarments.
Mintain hygiene by intimate vaginal wash or V vaginal plus wash to maintain normal pH and vaginal flora that prevent further infection. Drink plenty of waters.
Eat yogurt and avoid excessive sweets and yeast. Wash vagina with warm water with added apple cidar vinegar 2-3 times per day.
Maintain hygiene before and after sex. Use condoms and safe sex practice.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
