Normal leucorrhea appears as a white, translucent, egg white-like mucous substance that is odorless and non-irritating. This is a normal physiological secretion of women. Normal leucorrhea can help women kill germs. Abnormal green vaginal discharge is usually caused by the following reasons:

Symptoms include redness and swelling of the female vulva, congestion of the vaginal mucosa, gray-red color, mild redness and swelling, and mostly homogeneous secretions, sometimes milky yellow or green in color, with a fishy smell. A small number of patients have erythema on the vaginal wall, and pregnant women may suffer from miscarriage or postpartum endometritis. Severe infection can also lead to sepsis, urinary tract infection, perinephric abscess and cystitis.
