Hello,

No, this should not be neglected by treating at home. Since you are having post Menopausal age, these symptoms should be evaluated for uterine malignancy.

So better to consult a gynaecologist and get done a clinical examination of vagina, uterus, microscopic examination of discharge, pap smear and ultrasound examination of the lower abdomen.

You may need CT scan of abdomen if anything is positive in above tests. So consult a gynaecologist and discuss all these.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
