Online Health Advice > vaginal discharge >

In December I began a greenish vaginal discharge;was given flagel orally and internally, was on amoxycillin twice, went to 4 different OB/GYN doctors over a period of 7 months--the first three said I had a bacterial infection under the microscope, but the fourth sent it to a lab and came back 'normal flora'; the discharge still continues and I am at my wits end;I was asked to try REFRESH and bentadine douche--neither has helped; I am 56 yrs old, not sexually active, and have no where else to turn. Three yrs ago, I had uterus removed and the 'walls' built up with gortex mesh. Could I be reacting to this 'foreign' substance now, after all this time? Is there anything that can help this greenish/greyish discharge go away? There is no odor either. Can someone please give me other possibilities of where to turn? Thank you.

Optional Information:
Female , Age: 56

Already Tried:
flagel tablet and cream, amoxycillin, REFRESH, bentadine douche, more amoxycillin

It sounds like you have some type of infection. You had previously asked me about a high CRP, and infection in one of the things that can cause a high CRP.

Gortex is unlikely to be causing an inflammatory reaction - however, there is a possibility that this Gortex could have become infected. It is much harder to cure an infection where there is a foreign body in place (such as the Gortex)

Flagyl is one of the antibiotics I would have considered as a first choice.

It may be reasonable to discuss with your physician treating with a course of 2 antibiotics at the same time. The two that I would think of using together would be Flagyl and Cipro (or Levaquin) for AT LEAST 2 weeks. Cipro would help cover Chlamydia - which is NOT easily cultured and a negative culture does not rule out chlamydia infection

The other thing you may want to do, is to see a infectious disease specialist.
