Why do women have green discharge from the vagina after menstruation?
If the secretions are accompanied by a strong odor, this indicates the spread of dangerous bacteria within the female body. You should pay attention to the color of the existing selections. If a woman has itching and greenish discharge with a sour smell, this may indicate gynecological diseases such as bacterial infection in the vagina ( gardnerellez ), inflammation of the ovaries (acute adnexitis), fallopian tubes (acute salpingitis).
Green highlight color is because they contain a large number of leukocytes.
Lean excretions with a greenish tinge can also be noted if the woman has cervical erosion. And if they have a "fishy" smell, then this is a sign of vaginal dysbiosis.

- pulling pains in the lower abdomen;
- general weakness and loss of strength.
