To better understand abnormal vaginal bleeding, we first review normal vaginal bleeding. Do you know when uterine blood is normal, or not?...

Q: Light green discharge

I am 27 years old and have never been to an OB/GYN. I guess you can say I am embarassed and nervous to expose myself to someone I barely know (even a doctor).
I have been sexually active, but for myself, have decided to stop for a year now.
Lately, I have been having a light green vaginal discharge. It's not irritating or anything, more of an annoyance. It comes and goes and has been almost normal to me.
Some people say it could be the foods I eat. Some say it's the soap I use. Any ideas on what this can be?

It would only be a guess.

However i can say that it would not be from the foods that you eat. Soap should be used to clean the area but never inserted in the vagina as by doing so it can create an imbalance within the vagina itself and bacteria can then grow.

Honestly the only true way to find out what the discharge would be is to visit your doctor, preferably a gynecologist.

please visit your gyn atlease once a year, so they can check you for breast cancer, and make sure you don't have any types or cancer. this is especially important if you have a family history of women who have gyn issues. visiting your gyn...they can catch things in it's earliest stages like cancerous cells in your uterus that can be treated early.
clear and white is normal discharges, green isnt please visit your doctor.
