vaginal cyst
I'm have concerns I've been having a discharge that has a very slight light green tint to it. There's no burning no discomfort in peeing. And I seem to be experiencing vaginal dryness. Or I had thought that was what the problem was instead of a yeast infection. So when I was applying lubricant to ease the irritation I found I guess is a cyst. It's not painful but it is causing some irritation. I am not sexually active and I've not had a period I think since January/early February. Should I be concerned? Is there something besides seeing a doctor that I can do? I really thought I was just starting to go through menopause.

The infection can also cause discomfort during sex, vaginal itching, pain when passing urine and occasionally stomach pains.

Ususually discharge that has an unusual colour to it would indicate a bacterial infection and would need antibiotics to treat it. It could be a cyst, but it could be something else. Only way to know and recieve treatment for it is to see a doctor. Leaving these things untreated often makes them a lot worse.
