Im 53 and had heavy clotting cycle now its turned to black discharge and clotting. whats wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heavy clotting ?'s: The "heavy clotting" will appear as "black"discharge as when blood oxidizes , it turns dark. At 53, the infrequent ovulatory cycles occur, and w/o ovulation, the lining of the uterus thickens secondary to sustained estrogen production, allowing breakdown of the lining, with increased blood flow stimulating clot formation. Ask your GYN about low dose oral bcp's for stopping ovarian estrogen.
