What Causes Chronic Foul Vaginal Discharge With History Of Hysterectomy?
Had hysterectomy 9 yrs ago, have my ovaries. Never had sex since but have a smelly discharge for 5-6 yrs that does not go away. Dr. has given me several different vaginal creams to no avail. He has never did a vaginal exam but this is getting really old. What could be the cause? Should I try douching with vinegar?
hi thank you for asking your concern madam and welcome to HCM. chronic foul smell vaginal discharge with hysterectomy done is not at all a condition to be neglected. vaginal and per speculum examination is must part of evaluation. if you are having low appetite, weakness, unwell feeling since long then you must consult a gynecologist. you will need screen for diabetes, you may need vault biopsy and biopsy will definitely give a diagnosis to your condition. multiple causes can be there like diabetes mellitus, bacterial and fungal infection and we can not neglect to rule out malignancy in its early stages. if you feel any doubt please ask us regards dr. Abhijit
