Brief Answer:
Possible Trichomonas Vaginalis infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Green discharge is sign of Trichomonas Vaginalis which is not necessary a sexually transmitted infection, but can be transmitted like that as well.
So my recommendations would be that you do a swab to check for it, and also consider doing a STI testing as well (Chlamydia and Gonorrhea).
One other advise would also be to not use detergents for vaginal washing, because they may change the normal bacterial balance which may predispose the growing of other bacteria.
If the test for Trichomonas is positive, then you may need to take Metronidazole, which is an antibiotic and you may need a prescription for it.
The fact that your husband is not circumsized, does not predispose you of having infections.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifcations. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
