Having Yellowish Discharge, Post Menopausal And Vaginal Itching. Should I Be Worried?
Question: I have an occassional small amount of yellowish/brownish discharge. I am post menopausal. I had a vaginal itch for a little while. I then started using just water to clean the vagina which I read is the correct way to cleanse it. I take showers because I don't have a bathtup. I wear a pad every day because when I sneeze or cough i sometimes urinate slightly. I am 68 and was told by my doctor that I only need to get a pap test every 3 years because I have had all good pap tests. I still go for XXXXXXX exams. Should I worry about this discharge? It occurs every once and a while not all the time.

stress incontinence and vaginitis
