After Period Get Green Thick Discharge. Had Yeast And Bacterial Infection. Suggest?

Every month about a week after my period ends I get light green, thick, (almost rubbery like) discharge that has no odor and no itching. Now everything I read says green means infection but it lasts for about a week and then it's gone. Then I get my next period and the same cycle starts over. This has been happening for about a year. In the beginning I used medicine for trich but then I just gave up since it goes away every month only to return again. I have had yeast infections and bacterial infection before and this is not like those symptoms. What is this? Is this normal?

Hello ma'am.

This would not be considered normal, and you or your doctor were right in assuming trichomoniasis, as this most commonly prrsents with a green milky or thick discharge, but there are many others infections that can also present in such a manner.

In a scenario similar to yours, I think it would be wise to collect a sample of the discharge in a hospital provided sterile container and send it to the laboratory for analysis. This would help in finding the cause for such a presentation. Also it would be wise to get your sexual partner also tested and please also go ahead with a transvaginal ultrasound scan just to make sure there are no underlying causes for such a presentation.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
