Re: Discharge

Discharge is normal in a woman due to the hormonal changes relating to your monthly menstrual cycle. A discharge is a post-menopausal woman may need further swabs and investigations. A discharge is not a symptom or LS alone. Women with LS who tend to use lots of panty liners can paradoxically have an increase in their discharge which generally settles once they stop using pads and avoid other irritants such as thongs, wet wipe type products and thongs.
