Hello,
This can be due to bacterial vaginosis. It is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present. Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge. Treatment is by metronidazole and clindamycin. Please do not use any vaginal douches.
She had taken premarin for over 20 yrs and has discontinued it because of the complications that come with it. She has full blown menopause, but her major complaint is this watery discharge that has forced her to start wearing maxi pads and it has become so overwhelming that she is very self-conscious and is becoming a hermit as a result. Is there a natural solution or an herbal ****** that will help? Could it also be something she's not eating or eating too much of? Please help? Thanks!

I have been experiencing MAJOR itching of my labia and around my anus. The itching is so severe at times, I scratch in my sleep till I bleed. It feels as though there is something crawling on me.
Hello Sandra,
I am 58 as well and been in post menopause for a couple of years. I have read and heard that our bodies can still produce just enough hormone for us to bleed like that, especially if you are on synthetic hormones. I have used the bio-identical hormones and even they can cause break through bleeding.
Last year, I had the vaginal discharge that was red-tinged.

Hi, I was wondering if its normal to have a slight bleed at the entrance of the vagina after menopause , I also get a slight dirty discharge sometimes too , Im 57 years old and was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroid disease over 5 years ago.
I had a check up last year but they couldnt see my ovaries for some reason. They tried to take a swab of the womb but it was too painful . Results were to come back if I get heavy bleeding within 6 months.
I'm experiencing Menopause and it seems my outbreaks are worse. Does this get better over time?
