Hello, I am new here. I was diagnosed with vaginal atrophy in 2009 and 2013 via ultrasound. I am 68, and I think I am dealing with it again. I was menopausal when I was tested. I am now 68, and I believe I have it again. Intercourse with hubby is very sore and burning, we haven't done that in months. My problem is, I have always had constipation with severe straining for the past 20 years. The past 2 weeks, out of nowhere, I think I am dealing with atrophy again. Sorry for TMI but a couple weeks ago my husband masturbated me really hard on the outside of my vagina and I had a VERY intense orgasm. Fell asleep and awoke the next morning, peed, and about a tablespoon of blood followed. Since then, every time I have a bm with straining, I am now passing clear, thin discharge. Today when I tried to have a bm, I had more discharge and a tiny pink blood and what looked like a little dry blood. Was wondering if anyone emse had this same issue. No issues except when straining. Thank you for reading.
