Why is Period Blood Green?

Published in Menstrual Health 1 min read

Green period blood is not normal and can be a sign of an infection.

While period blood typically ranges in color from bright red to dark brown, a green tint is cause for concern. The reference indicates that if you observe green in your period blood, it could indicate an infection such as:

  • Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): An imbalance of bacteria in the vagina.
  • Trichomoniasis: A sexually transmitted infection (STI).

If you notice green period blood, it is important to seek medical advice from your healthcare provider. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications.
