A: It is normal for vaginal discharge to change in color and consistency throughout the month, depending on hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. Vaginal discharge that has an odor, is green-tinged, or accompanied by itching is concerning for a possible infection. If you experience these symptoms, you should be seen by a provider who can perform a vaginal swab to rule out infectious causes. This can be done at our Center for Sexual Health and Wellness clinics at South Village on Tuesday afternoons and Fridays.
