What causes greenish discharge after intercourse?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been having a greenish discharge these last 4 days after intercourse with my partner (her). She has PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), and right now, the greenish discharge is lesser, though. I do not know if this relates to the symptoms, but I have been tired, and right now, I have a couple of sores in my mouth. This never happened before the greenish discharge.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Greenish vaginal discharge, itching, and smell associated with unprotected sexual intercourse is most likely the case is trichomonas vaginalis. For confirmation, you need to do:
-
High vaginal swab.
-
Nucleic acid amplification test.
Treatment:
-
Tablet Metronidazole 400 mg, three times a day for 14 days.
-
Tablet Doxycycline 100 mg, two times a day.
We should trace and treat the partner with the same medication, dosage, and duration. I assure you that you should take these medicines and you will be fine. I would appreciate it if you could give your feedback.
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
Thank you.
