Green discharge no odour
I’m a 23 years old female who has just started exploring herself sexually, in secret, of course. I havent slept with anyone but I bought toys such as dildos and egg vibrator. Yesterday when I was on the toilet, I saw the discharge on my panties was quite unusual and I wasnt sure if it yellow or green but I found it alarming. There’s no smell from it and it looks like a snot. There was no itchiness, but today there’s a bit of it. I dont know if my mind are playing tricks on me or what. I did some googling and I became a bit more panic after I read the possibility that caused my discharge to have an unusual colour. I used a cotton bud on myself to make sure I was seeing things right and yes, the cotton bud looked kind of greenish and smells like dried snots. I dont know what to do. I’m scared to go to a doctor since I know my mom would want to come with me, and I dont think I can afford any meds right now. Is there a way to prevent this from getting worse before I can afford buying the meds that I need?

Hello and thank you for your question.
Based on your question, I understand that you are worried about your problem. I will try to help you.
You found some dry greenish vaginal discharge but not feeling itchy, and most of the times it can indicate infection. For your information, usually vaginal discharge is clear or pink during menses.
There are few steps can be done to reduce your symptoms.
- Take care of feminine hygiene eg change your underwear/pantyliner regularly, clean your sex toys regularly, use cleansing products if needed
- Monitor yourself for any regarding symptoms of sexual transmitted diseases such as fever, painful urination and itchiness or unusual rash around genital area
- Prevent douching or intercourse in the meantime
You can also contact our doctor online for further information and management.
I hope this answer helps you. Thank you.
