White discharge

I was wondering if anyone of you ever had a mild, white discharge years after histerectomy.

I am having one. I went to the doctor, and he took a sample for a culture to check on vaginal diseases. It came back negative, than God.

However, I would like to play safe and find out more, since the culture was for vaginal diseases.

Thank you!

    Discharge

    Not since hysterectomy, but before, I used to notice a strong fishy sort of smell at times.  When I went for my first appointment with my gyn/onc, one of the PA's examined me and asked how long I'd had my discharge.  I don't know as I ever really saw the discharge, just noticed the very unpleasant odor.  I had stage IVB UPSC.  Does your discharge have that sort of odor?
