Hi Laura - I can't tell from your comments whether you're seeing a family physician or a gynecologist. If you're not seeing a gynecologist it would be in your best interest to get a referral to one, a physical exam and a treatment plan to deal with your situation. Continuing to have a discharge indicates that your condition is not being managed and needs attention. A discharge on its own, however, is not a typical symptom of vulvodynia.
We can't diagnose your condition, but we can provide you with information that you can use to evaluate whether this information seems to fit what you're dealing with and to use in seeking treatment.
Here's the link to the EmpowHER reference page on Vulvodynia which includes information on the causes, symptoms and treatments:
