Hi, I have gone through your question. Green vaginal discharge is indicative of bacterial vaginosis infection. The bleeding after intercourse can occur in this condition if not treated timely.
I would suggest you to get your vaginal swab examination done to confirm the diagnosis and take antibiotic course accordingly.
Bacterial vaginosis should be treated timely as it may predispose to other sexually transmitted diseases.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
