More Than Normal Yellowish Discharge, Large Amount Of Dark Brown Discharge After Having Sex. History Of Hysterectomy, Vaginal Strep. Opinion?
I am 72 years old and have had a hysterectomy with ovaries left. I had the hysterectomy in 1981. Have had yearly checkups with no problems. In May and July, visited the Gyn with dark yellowish discharge and both times found vaginal strep. Took antibiotics both times. Still have had yellowish discharge more than normal for me. After last intercourse had a large amount of dark brown discharge. This is a concern since I lasted visited the Gyn in July. What is the cause of this dark brown discharge.

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. You need to be examined internally to come to a conclusion, speculum examination will tell if there is any problem with your vaginal vault. Then a scan will tell if there is any pelvic collection and Vault smear to check for any organism, so that specific treatment can be given.
I feel you might be suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.

Wish you good health.
