[LA55]

Hello from across the pond!

This is my first time posting. I am 67 years old and since being menopausal at 55 have had no discharge whatsoever. Then a few months ago I started having a lot of annoying watery discharge - but still have vaginal dryness. I was tested and do not have a yeast or bacterial infection. I am not on any treatment for vaginal atrophy (which I was told I have). My gynecologist said to start with non-medicated internal lubrication products for dryness, but after looking at reviews for those I'm hesitant to try them because they sound like a gunky mess! Anyway, has anyone found anything that solves the watery discharge problem that is not associated with infection. Also, while I'm here, I'm curious if Vagifem or similar products do anything for lack of libido?

Hi.  Welcome on board.  If you have been told by a medical professional that you have VA then treatment should have been offered 

At the very least, try 'vagifem' for 5-6 months 2 see if there is any improvement.  The vagina cleanses itself.  Could it be urine leakage?

Browse round.

Hello LA55. Welcome to the forum. Watery discharge is a symptom of vaginal atrophy. The only thing that can help vaginal atrophy is localised oestrogen so while lubricants will help the dryness a little they will not be enough on their own.

I have found that gynae's often do not seem to understand VA unlike menopause specialists.   If the VA improves then you could have an increase in libido in the sense you are not in pain but vagifem does not really help libido in itself.
