Brief Answer:
DETAILS ARE GIVEN BELOW.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

1) At post-menopausal stage, ovarian cyst and fibroid or polyps will REGRESS automatically over the time WITHOUT any medical intervention or treatment if you DON'T have other clinical features like vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain etc.

2) Most of the ovarian cysts and fibroid are BENIGN in nature. However, you can undergo blood test for CA-125 and histopathological examination of ovarian cyst to know the nature of the cyst. It will be more worthwhile and you must consult with your doctor following test report.

3) Serum prolactin level and one mammography should be carried out to pinpoint the diagnosis regarding clear discharge from breast. It is MOSTLY physiological and seen in few percentage women only.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen

Brief Answer:
MILD CLEAR DISCHARGE IS NORMAL.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for giving additional information. I apologize for misunderstanding.

Mild clear to mucus vaginal discharge is NORMAL thing among post-menopausal women if their is NO bad smell or itching. You just maintain your genital hygiene properly. Use vaginal pH maintaining gel like VAGISIL or RepHresh etc to avoid any kind vaginal infection.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
