I had this post surgery. It was very watery - it came on after the bleeding had stopped and I had to use a towel as I was like a dripping tap.
I had some antibiotics which did work eventually, but the doctor who did the swab (who was supposed to be the womens expert) said it looked thrushy and said ' oh we all have different discharge at different times (as if you get to 50 without working this one out
)
Anyway the antibiotics seemed to work, then it came back so I tried diflucan tablets (didn't want to irritate surgery with the awful pessaries), then tried tablets and Flora plus.
Then it came back and I ignored it for a few days, but it got much worse over the weekend (couldn't sit down
and it was now tinged with pink ), so I got an urgent appointment with a locum man who did a swab and gave me some antibiotic cream (you stick a load in with an applicator at night and then it all falls out in the morning - not good if you are getting up in the night
) and when I got the results, I was put on vagifem (which I should have been using as it was prescribed by the urogynae that did the op in his letter but no one told me). When I said this wasn't what I had expected, he said 'anything goes with menopause'
It took a while to get it just right with the vagifem and reloads, and the multigyn actigel (works out cheaper than the flora plus), but I never dripped again and it has never been that bad since. It is the only thing that actually put a stop to it. These days it is so much better that I forget about the vagifem until I get swelling again. It has also stopped the infernal itching that I had had for about 5 years previously
