Question 1

i have just started a post menopausal brown discharge - 6 months ago i was checked out and cleared after a bleed and the investigations were all clear?

Accepted Answer

Still concerning: I would hope getting checked out included the right evaluations. These must include a pelvic exam, pap, and if you still have your uterus even an endometrial biopsy. Some medical problems can cause bleeding and discharge. These include infections and thyroid disease. Post menopausal bleeding/discharge is usually the sign of something that needs attention!

Question 2

i need help, i have severe anxiety and fear over post menopause yellowish brown discharge, but im scared of tests and what will be the diagnosis and i'm also scared to death to get covid at the doctor or hospital, not sure how to get through!?

Accepted Answer

: Get Covid-19 vaccination. I did. If is far far safer than Covid. 
Post-menopausal brownish discharge is an indication of bleeding from the genital tract. By not going to the doctor, you are delaying the diagnosis and adding to your anxiety. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

should i be worried about post menopausal occassional yellow heavy discharge?

Accepted Answer

No: I would not say that you should specifically worry about this, but know that with menopause, your ovaries are producing little to no estrogen.  This predisposes you to vaginal infections such as yeast infections.  The next time this occurs, treat with an over the counter yeast cream and see if this helps.

Question 6

will discharge stop completely after menopause?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: In menopause normal cyclical clear discharges will resolve with menopause.  However, if this is not the normal small amount of cyclical discharge than the reason you are having the discharge should be evaluated by your gynecologist and treated appropriately.

Question 7

Discharge: Vaginal discharge is abnormal at any age. It is often a sign of a vaginal infection. If the discharge is bloody, pathology of cervix and uterus has to be checked for. Your gynecologist is best qualified to evaluate, advise and treat you for your discharge.

Get seen now: Please forgive my frankness. This is a curable cancer in need of immediate attention until proved otherwise.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No: Brown discharge suggests light bleeding that is not normal years after menopause. You need a complete exam, possibly ultrasound and biopsy of the linning of the uterus.

Question 10

i have hot flashes. i wake up and soaked in sweat. i have a discharge. could this be menopause?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: This depends upon your age and hormonal history.  These are typical menopausal symptoms and rarely in the 35-50 year old age group are other conditions the cause.  If persistent or bothersome, see your OB -gyn to discuss and decide upon treatment.
