hi!  use 'vagifem' every night.  Have a look at 'sylc' and 'yes' products mentioned on here.  It could be a sort spot which bleeds on contact if the tissue there is thin and dry.

Is it red blood?

The watery discharge is a symptom of VA. You can use 5 Vagifem a week, which is equivalent to the old dose of 2 x 25 mcg pessaries (we only have the 10s now). You could also ask for some Ovestin cream to apply to the outside. Keep up the treatment, as VA can take a few months to get on top of. It is for life so needs regular treatment. One of the Yes products (VM or OB) or Sylk might help. Have a look at their websites as I think they will send you samples.

I was v sore with VA...but doc gave me what I think you have been given....and that sorted it out.  Had a cream at first...vile...but have little tablets I insert up there now...much better...so much so I don't need to take them all the time.  Could you have thrush too?  I went through a phase of that...most uncomfortable...but didn't have any discharge.  My old wonderful doctor , now retired, put me on medication for 3 months as she said "We need to sort this out once and for all as I think we are not clearing it then it's re occurring"  You can also bleed apparently with a bad urine infection....doctor (different one) kept treating me for one of those until one of them thought to look at VA. 
Good luck
