What Causes Golden Vaginal Discharge?
Question: I am 70yrs "young"! I have a goldish vaginal discharge. What could it be?
Brief Answer:
More information is needed!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this vaginal discharge that you have reported. To make sure I understand more about what the problem is, suggest a cause and propose a plan to address it, I would require some more information.
Is this vaginal discharge offensive? For how long has this been going on? Do you have any vaginal itches or pain? And is it in much volumes(do you need to put on a pad in order not to wet your underwear?
The most common cause to vaginal discharge are infections. This is generally diagnosed through a clinical exam and maybe some testing. Treatment depends on the established cause.
I hope to hear back from you before going further to making suggestions and recommendations on how to go about this. I wish you well.

It has been about a week. There is some discomfort. No odor, no pad.
Brief Answer:
Monitor a little longer again!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up precision.
I think the volume is minimal and without any odor or significant discomfort, I will want to monitor a little longer to gather more information on what exactly is going it and see whether it persists or not. Should it persist beyond a week from today, I will suggest that you examined by your OBGYN and maybe undergo some testing to look for and identify a cause.
In all, observe for another week. if it persist or symptoms worsen, then we would get it checked out by an OBGYN. For now, proper hygiene, no douching and monitoring.
Let me know what your take is about the plan and whether there are any concerns you would want us to address at this time.
