What Causes Yellow Vaginal Discharge Post An Hysterectomy?
Question: I had an hysterectomy removing all but the ovaries in 1968. 2 yrs ago when I was 83 I began expelling yellowish drops from the vagina on a periodic 4 to 6 week timetable. Just a few drops at a time. Now I am on the 11th day of issuing and some expulsions are comparatively large and gas like propelled which tells me there is some infection going on a this time. I have no insurance other than Medicare so I don't want to engage a local gyn if a 'home' remedy in a douch will do the job.
