How long did it take following surgery for your discharge to completely stop?
I had mine over 3 months ago now and the past 2 months there has still been a slight off-yellow colour discharge which has resulted in my need for constant wearing of pads (which is really annoying me!)
My surgeon thinks it might be caused by granulation tissue and thinks I may need a speculum inside me to treat this.
Does this sound normal to you? Has anybody else experienced discharge this far post-op? ???
Had off and on to wear panty liners up to 6 months for off and on light blood after dilations.
granulation is a very common issue with healing.
Silver nitrate treatment or let it heal on its own.
Now if the discharge has a odor then it should be checked by a doctor for possible infection.
There's no blood anymore it's just a slight yellow sometimes clear discharge visable in pads.
There is a slight odor sometimes although not always.
I was treated with silver nitrate a few weeks back but this was on the bottom of my vagina where there was some granulation tissue. I didn't know there could be granulation inside which would discharge like this.
Yes can be inside. I had one pesky spot all the way back in the dome that kept giving me issues.
Healing us a very long process and things go through lots if changes as it happens.
So make sure you keep up dated with your doctor.
Been 4 months. Still coming out. OTOH, nearly all of my cisgender girlfriends had discharge throughout their lives, so I think we may need to get used to it.
KY gel seems to become more gloopy during the day. And streams out when visiting the toilet. But is mostly clear on the dilators so not too worried. Taking a relaxing bath / douching more regularly with water can help. But always if it is regular or smelly then it needs to be checked
It has taken me a while of having different discharges to understand what is gloopy gel, what is from scar tissue trying to heal, what is candida and what is sweat and natural bodily fluids. And yes some Cis women need to wear pads regularly.
One thing which has helped in recent weeks is to sleep without knickers. I have longer t-shirts / nighties and these cover the bottom in case of nighttime leaks. But since doing this regularly the daytime leaks have also decreased.
I didn't have any discharge that wasn't lube from dilation after about a month, I believe. But there's a pretty big range, and while you should check with a doc, I wouldn't panic.
