VAGINAL DISCHARGE
Symptom Definition
Normal Vaginal Discharge: May be clear or white, thin or thick. It is not odorous and there is no itching.
Abnormal Vaginal Discharge
Yellow or green vaginal discharge is usually from an infection.
A foul-smelling discharge is usually from an infection.
A thick, white, itchy, cottage cheese-like non-odorous discharge is often caused by a yeast infection.
Common Causes of an Abnormal Vaginal Discharge
Vaginitis: Vaginitis is a general term that means "vaginal inflammation." Vaginal discharge and genital itching are the symptoms of vaginitis. Vaginitis may occur because of chemical irritation (e.g. excessive douching, or excessive use of over the counter yeast medication) or vaginitis may have an infectious cause. The three main infectious types of vaginitis are:
Candidiasis (thick, white, cottage cheese-like, non-odorous discharge)
Trichomonas (foamy, yellow-green foul-smelling discharge)
Bacterial vaginosis (white-gray discharge, fishy odor).
Vaginal Foreign Bodies: Vaginal foreign bodies (e.g. forgotten tampon) must be removed to prevent vaginal infection. Sometimes these are not discovered until after the woman goes into the doctor for a bad-smelling vaginal discharge.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Gonnorrhea and Chlamydia are sexually transmitted diseases the symptoms of which may include a new or abnormal vaginal discharge. Other symptoms can include pain with urination, pelvic pain, and bleeding.
Caution - Pregnancy
The possibility of pregnancy must be considered in all women in their childbearing years.
In the second half of pregnancy, increasing vaginal discharge can be a subtle sign of preterm labor.

I'm not sure if you're telling the whole truth here, yes you may have green discharge, which i think you should get checked out btw, but you actually had sex in a church? no i don't think so. and even if you did, that is a sin, you would definitely not tell us that, so the important things are you get green discharge, you're not a virgin. So we didn't really need to know you "had sex in a church, last night" no offence at all but i'm thinking that was for attention. Am i right?

Bright green is not a usual color for vaginal discharge. You should go to a doctor ASAP - you could have an STD or it's possible to have some other kind of infection...but it will only get worse if you leave it be!

A green PV discharge means some form of infection. If you are sexually active go to a GUM clinic, if not see your GP for a HVS = high vaginal swab, and treatment.

you should go to a doctor -- it could be gonorrhea or trichomonas. or even a side effect of a medication/drug you're taking.
the treatment for those stds are oral antibiotics - nothing invasive so don't worry. but you must go and get tested and treated right away b/c it can do damage to you long term!! you must also tell your partner because you can get it again, even after you've had it. plus, he/she might have an std even without any signs of one and be harmed by it too.
do not douche since this will wash away your normal bacteria that protects you.
good luck and go see a doctor.

Infection such as Group B Strep. The only way to know for sure is to have this evaluated by your doctor to see what they think is going on.
