A member asked:

Im 44, my last period was 11/10 and lasted for 6 days which is normal. tonight i have noticed discharge with a blood streak in it when wiping myself. is this something i should be worried about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not.: Occasional spotting between periods is quite common especially when the hormones are in flux--as they often are when you approach menopause. If you have other symptoms such as burning with urination, itching, foul odor or really heavy bleeding, that's a different matter altogether. But a bit of bloody discharge on one occasion is nothing to worry about. Dr. Anne
