What Causes Pain And Dryness In Vagina?
MY DR. THINKS I HAVE A LEISION IN MY UPPER VAGINA. IT HURTS TO MUCH TO GO UPP THERE TO FIND OUT THAT WAY BECAUSE IT IS SO DRY. I HAVE HAD ACOMPLETE TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY. NOW I HAVE A DISCHARGE THAT IS BROWN AND HAS SOME RED STREAKS IN IT. NO PAIN NO NOTHING. HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS?

Hello,
I think the brown discharge comes from a vaginal infection and you should do a colonoscopy to get checked and also a vaginal smear.
The dryness comes from atrophy of mucosal lining due to hormone changes like menopause.
You can use water based lubricants and also Hyaluronic Acid lubricants to help mucus regeneration.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
