Vaginal discharge after many years of vaginal dryness

I am 63 and had a hysterectomy 21 years ago and my ovaries removed 13 years ago. Since then I have had vaginal dryness. All of a sudden (yesterday) I noticed clear vaginal discharge (no other problems e.g. pain). I noticed this morning that the pants I took off last night had a dried white staining from the discharge.

I actually felt pleased that the juices appear to be back but am now concerned as to why.

Can any one throw any light on this?

    Are you having no other symptoms as it could be thrush?

    HI well as long as its not irritating you in anyway and its actually feeling like your natural lubrications have returned then it can only be good! Just keep an eye on things.
