Whether leukorrhea with a light green color can resolve on its own depends on the specific circumstances. Generally speaking, if the light green leukorrhea is caused by a mild bacterial infection or poor hygiene habits, and there are no other accompanying discomfort symptoms, it may resolve spontaneously through improved personal hygiene, frequent bathing, and regularly changing undergarments. However, if the light green leukorrhea is caused by gynecological conditions such as trichomonas vaginitis or cervicitis, the likelihood of spontaneous resolution is relatively low. These conditions typically require targeted medication for effective symptom relief and control. Therefore, if you notice light green leukorrhea, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for relevant examinations to determine the underlying cause and undergo targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance. Meanwhile, maintaining good personal hygiene habits and a healthy lifestyle are also important measures for the prevention and management of gynecological diseases.
