At 66, this symptom is usually not serious, but it should be understood properly. What it may indicate: Normal vaginal discharge change (post-menopause hormonal changes) Mild infection (fungal or bacterial) Excess moisture/sweat in the area Sometimes due to local skin gland secretion “Oily feeling” alone is not a classic symptom, so we look for associated signs. Check for warning symptoms: Itching, burning Foul smell White/yellow/green discharge Redness or irritation ➡️ If any of these are present → likely infection → needs treatment What to do now: Hygiene: Keep area clean and dry Use only plain water (avoid harsh soaps) Wear loose cotton undergarments At home: Apply pure coconut oil externally (soothing, if dryness/irritation) If mild infection suspected: Triphala kwath wash (external wash once daily) Avoid self-use of random creams When to consult doctor: If symptoms persist >1 week If discharge has smell or itching If any pain or bleeding Important: At this age, any new vaginal symptom should not be ignored completely, even if mild Most cases are simple and manageable, but evaluation ensures safety.
