Is it normal to have leucorrhea after menopause? I believe that many women are very curious about this issue.

If watery or persistent discharge occurs, medication must be used in time. If the treatment is ineffective, the problem of gynecological tumors must be considered, because these are dangerous symptoms that are extremely easy to occur in elderly women.
