What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge Post Hysterectomy?

For the past year, I have had a dark discharge. I had as hysterectomy over 40 yrs. ago. I was told it is nothing to worry about but I still worry. This discharge is almost like I am having a period but at the last stage of the cycle. Should I be worried?

It is mostly suggestive of vaginal fungal infection for which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching if present. You can take fluconazole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into the vagina once daily for at-least 5 days. Maintain the hygiene of private part either by regular washing or you can use v-wash vaginal gel for local application.
