I had my VIN3 operation 6 days ago, I'm washing my vulva twice a day , using shower, and I'm taking ibuprofen & paracetamol for the pain. I'm experiencing some yellowish discharge , not a great deal , but I can feel it when I pass it. Is this normal in the healing process?? 

My anxiety is high ,as I'm thinking ,and hoping it's not a infection & I get the all clear soon xx 

Please could anyone advise,if they experienced something similar. Xx 

  • Hi Blondi,

    I’ve had VIN3 WLE twice. If it’s oozing I would recommend speaking to a nurse for advice. If you’re hospital don’t provide this service I would call your GP.

    I didn’t have this happen myself if I’m honest but I wouldn’t take any risks in case of infection. 

    I hope you’re feeling ok as it’s not the easiest of times.

    Best wishes x

  • Thanks for your advice, I will contact the hospital in the morning. 

  • I was quite fastidious with keeping clean and dry down there whilst healing. After showering I used my hairdryer on its coolest low setting to help dry it. I use an emollient cream now in the shower around my whole area down there.

    Good luck x
