Author	Topic:   green discharge
perplexed Junior Member Posts: 2 From: pittsburgh, pa, usa Registered: MAY 2002	posted 05-10-2002 11:46 PM          hello ladies, i'm hoping someone can help me. i'm experiencing excessive light green to yellow discharge for the first time ever. i have seen a specialist (not just a gyny) and he is perplexed. i'm not satisfied...there just must be an explaination. we have ruled out yeast, bacteria, and STD's. i have excessive white blood cells in my slide smears. no odor, or itch. has anyone else ever run into this? i'd appreciate some reason for this happening.

I never was too worried so I never consulted anyone about it. Like you, I had no itching or burning and it was probably very normal. In fact I think I still occasionally get a slightly yellowy very light green discharge with the more frequent white and clear discharge (But I can't tell you foresure because I really don't examine it too closely. I think I noticed it more when I was younger). I would deem it normal and if it's not burning, stinging, or itching I don't think you have much to worry about. I would, however, wonder about your "perplexed" gyno. Your gyno should be able to tell you that it's normal and not to worry since it is causing no irritation. I would suggest getting a second proffesional's opinion. That's all the advice I can offer. I hope it helps. [This message has been edited by Elis (edited 05-11-2002).]

The gynecologist cultured it and said that he saw a lot of white blood cells and that my cervix looked inflamed. It turned out to be cervicitis. I was perscribed doxycyclin and it cleared up. It would be a good idea to go get a second opinion from someone else. It sounds like something is going on there.

Nice to know there are people out there still willing to lend a hand. I've has this on my mind way too long. I won't worry about it...but i will consult another doctor just to be sure. Thanks ladies!
