Hi,
Was pap smear done? If, what was the findings. What Cervical operation was done? If the whole uterus was removed, there could be vaginitis.
You can get a discharge culture done to identify sensitive antibiotics.

Thank you very much !!
Brief Answer:
Check for Trichomonas infestation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I went through your reports and history. It appears that your complaints are long standing for more than a year. The possible cause was erosion of cervix which has been treated. Do you have itching/ foul smell accompanying the yellow discharge. If so it is important to rule out Trichomoniasis. Since your reports show some pus cells, means there is some infection which could be causing concern.
Also Discuss with your consulting doctor regarding the trichomonas infestation.
However it should be noted that vaginal discharge can be associated with stress, nutritional status, physical activity, midcycle or personal hygiene.
Hope this helps.
Regards

Hi, I can totally opt out the possibility of trichomonas because i don't hv itchy feelings and smelly odor of discharge. Also i hv been doing the vaginal test very frequently from January to May this year . But the symptoms is nothing else. It's just always yellow. If you think it's cause by the operation, then what treatment will u suggest? Is it okay that i understand "few pus seen " could be ommitted because the report said normal genital flora? Could the symptoms gone by improving my immune system? If so, please be advice what should I do. Doctor J. Please help me.. Thank u..
Brief Answer:
Stop worrying about vaginal discharge.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Normal genital flora seen, means you do not have any infection. No itching or smelly odor means again no infections.
Now we have to look at other causes like nutrition, emotional stress, medications, oral contraceptive pills and sexual arousal.
If the quantity is too high, I would think of stress or oral contraceptive pills.
Your immune system is good as you do not have infection. However, if you need to improve it further you can have a protein rich diet like eggs, fish, red meat, pulses etc.
Yellow discharge is normal.
See if you can correlate with OCP, sexual arousal or stress. If there is any possible relation, look at it. If it increases more, then it is normal.
You should stop worrying about it, as it is normal and that would be causing stress and leading to excessive secretion. Maintain usual hygiene, it will only reduce. Avoid vaginal mucosal irritation or vaginal douching.
Stop all treatment related to yellow vaginal discharge. If there is itching or change in color, then you can start any treatment, until then do not worry.
Hope its helps.

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound abdomen necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the symptoms and current query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Due to stress and nutritional imbalance, you must be having abnormal periods. However, hopefully there is no possibility of pregnancy, i shall assume.
2. Did you follow any of the previous treatment, i mentioned. Do mention, during the treatment, did anything change?
3. Stress, malnutrition, underweight or overweight, no exercise - do mention some details about yourself, so I can help further.
4. Yellow discharge can be normally present. However, as your cycles are messed up, polycystic ovarian disease or hormonal abnormalities could be present. Have you got an ultrasound anytime?
Do let me know about previous solutions and what you did, so that I can give further opinion.

Brief Answer:
Cause needs to be identified.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
PCOS requires treatment based on cause. A complete evaluation of hormones, bodyweight, diet are necessary to identify the cause. Meet your doctor for the exact prescription of tests.
As the cause is not identified, pharmacy wont help.
