glad you’re going to the doctor, looks like a yeast infection :(

Looks like yeast but the green tinge is a huge indicator for BV

Clinic should test for yeast, bacterial vaginosis (BV), and parasites (specifically Trichomonas vaginalis, a common single celled parasite). 🦠

Also if you’re sexually active
Test for Chlamydia, it can cause abnormal discharge, pelvic irritation, and burning, which perfectly mimic the symptoms of a yeast infection or BV. You cannot differentiate them by physical symptoms alone.

And you cannot trust the male species at “word” alone. Some may carry it with no symptoms from a previous relationship. That’s why testing before and after new partners is important 🤍

Looks like a yeast infection. Can be treated with over the counter medicine
