I had my uterus and ovaries removed some time ago, but for the past couple of days, I've noticed discharge during urination. Why am I still having vaginal discharge after removal of the uterus and ovaries?

Vaginal discharge after hysterectomy and oophorectomy may result from poor local hygiene leading to bacterial infection. It could also be due to incomplete healing of the surgical wound in the uterus, with fluid being expelled along with vaginal secretions. Patients should go to the hospital for routine vaginal discharge examination and uterine evaluation to determine the exact cause, and receive appropriate treatment based on the underlying condition.
