NSFW: Women and medical professionals: Has anyone ever experienced or seen a patient with a bright turquoise blue vaginal discharge?

Asked by anartist (14813

I have and was totally blown away. I immediately searched the web and found a lot of ill-informed hearsay and personal anecdote. The most alarmist said that this was a sign of HPV which could lead to cancer. I went to my gynecologist and discussed what it could possibly be and the closest thing we came up with [since I had just had a PAP smear the previous month] was a litmus response to the acids in my body by Aveeno bath [which is base].

The color was far more vivid than this as the web does not render this color well.

She told me I was turning into a Smurf. We agreed it was an odd place to start.

I have 5 more packets left. It looks like empirical testing is in order.

Wow, no, never heard of a turquoise colored discharge, ever. How bizarre.
But how could Aveeno bath absorb or enter your vagina by simple bathing practices?
Truth is stranger than fiction apparently. lol

Is it definitely vaginal discharge? I have heard that a rare side effect of Urelle (treats UTIs) is turquoise urine. Probably not what’s happening in this case though, huh?

Might be the same mechanism, though. According to the article I linked, the blue urine is the result of methylene blue in Urelle reacting with acids in the body.

That’s pretty unsettling! I hope you get answers soon. Good ones!
