Vaginal and breast discharge

Hi, I have two questions.  For about the the past 4 years, I've had this foul smelly discharge.  Its usually thick,kind of gooey and may have a grayish or brownish color  I often visit the obgyn because before (about 4 years ago) I started having this discharge, I was hospitalized with an ovarian cyst.  Now, I have had different doctors give me different opinions and treatments (vaginal creams and gels), but all of them still never cleared up my discharge permanently.  Recently, I had a LEEP procedure done to my cervix due to abnormal paps.  Thinking this would finally do the trick, it didn't.  Is there any way that I can get rid of this discharge for good?? Please help!!

Also, a few months ago I noticed I was having discharge from my nipples as well.  Some days it was white, others, watery looking.  I got on the internet to read about it and I read that this normal for some women but I was wondering should I take further actions??

You need to get your blood drawn and your prolactin level tested, as the nipple discharge can be a sign that your prolactin levels are up/down. There are a variety of causes, but it's primarily diagnosed with the blood work. If your levels are up/down, your OB/GYN will typically prescribe you medication and then re-test your levels every couple of months.

Thick, gooey, brownish and smelly discharge might be a sign of BV (bacterial vaginitis) or other infection that needs antibiotic treatment, not just creams.  Don't know about the nipple discharge.
