What is the reason for pale green vaginal discharge

The reason why the leucorrhea appears light green may be due to not paying attention to hygiene during sexual intercourse and not paying attention to personal hygiene in daily life, which leads to vaginitis. This condition usually occurs before and after menstruation, and it happens frequently. Generally, for such a situation, we can use some Chinese medicine for sitz bath and apply some medicine on the lower body to repair the vagina. Do not use disinfectant or detergent to wash the vagina. This will not only be ineffective but will also damage the vagina. Usually, you only need to rinse it gently with warm water.

Reasons for pale green vaginal discharge

1. Bacterial vaginosis

In a normal vaginal environment, Lactobacillus is absolutely dominant. When the number of Lactobacillus decreases significantly and other anaerobic bacteria and pathogenic bacteria such as Gardnerella increase, bacterial vaginosis is likely to occur, resulting in abnormal color of leucorrhea. When you have bacterial vaginosis, your vaginal discharge is usually off-white, but may also have a greenish tint.

2. Candidal vaginitis

Candidal vaginitis, also known as candidal vaginitis, is mainly caused by Candida albicans. When infected with candidiasis, there will be tofu-like leucorrhea, which is yellow or light green in color. When infected with candidiasis, in addition to abnormal leucorrhea, other symptoms include vulvar itching, dyspareunia, frequent urination, and urgency.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis

Trichomonal vaginitis is mainly caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. When infected with Trichomonas vaginitis, the weakly acidic environment of the vagina will be destroyed. For most women with Trichomonas vaginitis, the pH value of the vagina is greater than six. Common symptoms are foamy leucorrhea with a foul odor and yellow or green color. In addition, it may be accompanied by vulvar itching and urinary tract infection, and may even lead to infertility.

4. Senile vaginitis

The main cause of senile vaginitis is the degeneration of ovarian function, which leads to low estrogen levels in the body and causes vaginal inflammation. In addition to abnormal leucorrhea, senile vaginitis may also cause symptoms such as vulvar itching and pain during sexual intercourse.

Why does leucorrhea turn abnormally light green? From the above introduction, we can understand that there are many reasons for leucorrhea turning abnormally light green, mainly bacterial vaginitis, candidiasis, Trichomonas vaginitis and senile vaginitis. It is recommended that female friends who have light green leucorrhea go to the hospital for routine leucorrhea examination in time to clarify the condition.
