Avatar f tn To my knowledge this is the only infection that causes green discharge. Bacterial vaginosis causes a fishy smelling white discharge, a yeast infection causes a thick clumpy white discharge. you need to see a doctor as soon as possible and get antibiotics.

My discharge is kind of creamy yellow... What is wrong with me???????????
Avatar f tn Hello, Going by your symptoms, it looks like bacterial vaginosis to me. It is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present. Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge. Treatment is by metronidazole and clindamycin. Please do not use any vaginal douches.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a 25 year old virgin. I have had too much vaginal discharge for more than 2 years and a half for every single day. I visited 3 doctors but non of them could help. to describe it fully, the first two weeks it was discharge with a fishy smell, but then just the smell disappeared, but the yellow discharge has continued since then. I also have unwanted hair on my face and body and I'm under treatment for my facial hair by electrolysis.
Avatar f tn I recently have had sex with my boyfriend of three months and have experienced a strong odor on one occasion which was very strong and fishy smelling like.

Avatar f tn I experienced a fishy smelling type of odor one night that both my boyfriend and I were aware of. I have been having sex every day for the past three months. Prior to that, I was not sexually active for three years. I am a 49 year old woman and have never experienced this before. It lasted one night, then seemed to disappear. Is this normal to come and go like that?
Avatar f tn If the discharge is very fishy smelling and yellow this would indicate a bacterial vaginosis problem which is usually treated by antibiotics. Do not use soap to wash down below. This changes the PH levels down there. See how you get on with the sea salt as mentioned in a previous reply. Best wishes Best wishes.
Avatar n tn Hi, This could be bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. I think you should get your investigations repeated once to be sure. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. It is caused by a change in the type of bacteria found in the vagina. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present.

Avatar f tn The white stuff is called vaginal discharge, which is also completely normal and harmless. Vaginal discharge can be clear or white and of different consistencies. If it smells fishy or is of another color, then it may be a sign of infection. Other than that, there is nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn A certain amount of vaginal discharge (fluid that flows out the vaginal opening) is normal. The vaginal walls and uterine cervix contain glands that produce a small amount of fluid that helps to keep the vagina clean. This normal fluid is usually clear or milky white and does not have an unpleasant odor. The normal vaginal discharge is thicker at specific times of the menstrual cycle (at the time of ovulation), during breastfeeding, or during sexual arousal.
Avatar f tn Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge. Treatment is by metronidazole((Flagyl, MetroGel) and clindamycin (Cleocin) which are available under prescription. They are available as pills or vaginal gels or creams. Please do not use any vaginal douches. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

But just wanted to hear what some of u much further along experienced. Ericka 8.
Avatar n tn s something bad ?? It bothers me , because the discharge is a lot sometimes and smells like something fishy . This has never happened to me.
Avatar f tn Can someone help, I am getting thick white fishy discharge from my vagina and I'm getting this every day with pain in my vagina and stomach above my pubic bone, pain in pelvis, irregular cycles, painful periods and urinary urgency. Urine tests come back clear and an ultrasound done in 2009 was normal but my symptoms I feel need investigating and I have been sexually active recently. I'm worried about my doctor arranging for me to have a pelvic exam. Will I need to have this?
1634466 tn?1300216709 Hi, From what you describe, it sounds like a natural odor. Every body has their own natural, unique odor. If it's not fishy smelling or really foul, I would say there's nothing really wrong. Now if you happen to smell it several times during the day through your clothes just going every day normal activities, then maybe it would be abnormal, but it sounds like you eat right, take good care of yourself, so again, I would say it's normal from everything else you describe.
