Can A Sore Throat Lead To Vaginal Discharge?

Posted on Thu, 20 Jul 2023

Question: Ok thank you. Is there any connection between a soar throat and vaginal discharge. I am 82 years old and have been ill for a week with a soar throat and today noticed a discharge. Have not had in many years.
I am a very healthy person.

Brief Answer:

No connection!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

There is no connection between these two. I would rather think this is purely coincidental and at best may represent two distinct conditions that happened to occur at the same time.

Tell me more about this vaginal discharge: Color, quantity, odor and whether you have any symptoms such as pain, frequent urination or itches. Also, do you have any fever?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Observe only for now!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I will recommend you monitor only for now. If any new worrisome symptom sets in or this persists, let me know for further review and guidance. At this time, I anticipate that this will resolve spontaneously as there are no immediate red flags.

Hope I have answered your query.
