A member asked:
Green mucus discharge (just once) during heavy period. recently came off birth control pill. withdrawal related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Discharge that has a distinct color to it usually indicates an infection. It is recommended to make an appointment with your physician for proper diagnosis and treatment. It is not uncommon to have discharge (of neutral color) when discontinuing or initiating hormone therapy. Monitor yourself for changes in color, smell, itching/burning sensations, amount and frequency.
