What Does White Vaginal Discharge After Periods Indicate?
Question: About a month ago I went to an urgent care for an upper respiratory infection and a uti. I was put on antibiotics for both. The upper respiratory went away but the urgency to urinate did not. Did a follow up culture with my PCP which came back neg for infection, but he still treated me twice for a uti. I put myself on a probiotic and the urgency has gotten better slightly. Now I have this thick watery white vaginal discharge after my cycle ( was present about a week or two before my cycle, my cycle ended Monday). There's no pain itching or burning when I urinate or otherwise. There is also no odor. I've been tested for std and pregnancy both are neg. Could this vaginal discharge be normal or a yeast infection from antibiotics.
Brief Answer:
For now, I would say normal and monitor further!
Detailed Answer:
Hi an thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this vaginal discharge that you have reported. Please, the number of antibiotics are overwhelming and I will lim to suggest that you really strongly consider stopping. please, the doctor needs to be very sure of what the problem is before using so many antibiotics.
Because there are no other symptoms, this is unlikely to be a yeast infection, Vaginal yeast infection is known for it severe itches. This is absent and there is just no other symptom like pain, odor, etc that would make us suspect that you have an active infection.
For now, i will say monitor only. If something else comes up, then let me know.
