Question 1

can a woman have white vaginal discharge after having a hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This may occur.

Question 2

i'm having thick white discharge after over 5 years of my hysterectomy. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

White discharge/hyst: Vaginal discharge is possible regardless of surgical removal of the uterus.  Generally, this represents a "yeast" (fungal) infection. See your gyn for an exam and treatment recommendations.

Question 3

i have had a thick white discharge very waxy consistency. no other symptoms like itch, i have had a hysterectomy so i know it's not part of a cycle. the discharge is worse when i push down, for example having the toilet. is this ok?

Accepted Answer

: Was your cervix also removed during the hysterectomy?  Normal vaginal secretions are colorless and odorless. I'm not sure whether your discharge fits this description. In addition your discharge appears to be persistent and rather heavy in amount. For these reasons I recommend consulting your gynecologist for evaluation and advice.

Question 4

evening. noticing a thick non odorous  white discharge. creating a rubberized film on undies. had a total hysterectomy plus oophorectomy 2008. cause?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal discharge: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.

Question 5

had a total hysterectomy  8 weeks ago with ovaries still in. had bv at my check up took all the medicine. seem to have white discharge no othersymptom?

Accepted Answer

White discharge: After treatment for "BV", a yeast (fungal) infection may be a consequence. If you try Monistat 7 (over the counter) and it does not resolve, see your gyn surgeon for an exam and other treatment.

Question 6

i've had a lot of this white discharge for 2months and no itching or burning, but i'm not getting wet during sex i had a partial hysterectomy 9years ago. why is this happening?

Accepted Answer

: A "white discharge" usually represents a "yeast infection" (fungal), and is not always symptomatic. At "32" is not unusual for diminished lubrication during sex.  See your GYN physician for an exam and additional testing.

Question 7

i had a hysterectomy today i had a milky discharge is that normal

Accepted Answer

Hysterectomy: immediately After surgery such as a Hysterectomy, it is normal to have a mild vaginal discharge, but be sure that you tell the surgeon so they can be aware of all your post operative symptoms and issues, and will let you know when to follow-up and be concerned if the discharge continues and or worsens/changes, etc.  Best wishes.

Question 8

why am i having smelly discharge, i had an hysterectomy 8 yrs  ago?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: You may have a vaginal infection.  You should see your gyn right away to be evaluated and treated.

Question 9

constant milky discharge but i've had a full hysterectomy. what is this?

Accepted Answer

See Gynecologist: May be due to infection, and should get exam to determine.

Question 10

what can cause pain and pinkish discharge 3 yrs after partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Granulation tissue: Vaginal cuff(the area where the vagina was closed after hysterectomy) granulation tissue, or erosion or abrasions of this site can cause the problem. Have a gyn md examine this area and sometimes this can be identified and treated with a siver nitrate stick applied to the area to help it heal.
