What Causes Severe Vaginal Discharge?

I am experiencing a vaginal discharge. The only thing that I have done differently was to start using wet wipes. Nothing else new in my routine. I am 68 years old and have not been sexually active since early 1999. I did try to take baths again, but don t really like to because I rent and knowing that porcelain is porous, I don t like sitting in tubs. I have recently gained weight because of an auto accident. Very limited mobility. This situation has processed from just more than usual discharge to slightly more. Then changes in color from yellowish to yellowish brown/green. The has changed too from no unusual order to order (not urine) and no order at the present. I am interested in diet and or herbal treatments. Antibioitcs wreck my system. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Thank you for your question. Yes discharges are common These are caused by yeast infection mainly Candida species and trichomonas vaginalis. Both of these produced smell. Treatment Anti fungal pessaries _ clotrimaxiole Flagyl / Tinindazole for trichomoniasis. Vulval hygeine will also assist.

Tests- Urine Oak smear apart from screening cancer of cervix will also check both of these infection. Visit your GP in case you have no relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mutuma Geoffrey Zambezi
