Painful Sex and discharge afterwards

Hi ladies I’m 52 and am in perimenopause. I rarely have periods now just grubby browny discharge occasionally.

What I’m really worried about though is pain during sex then continual browny bloody discharge and lumpy bits afterwards (for weeks sometimes). (Apologies for the grim description!!) 

Pain during sex is NOT due to dryness but it’s so painful it makes me cry, which is kind of a passion killer. My doc has had a good look around and Ive had smear tests to rule out cervical cancers (test was clear) but why am I still getting this?

Is this due to lack of Estrogen?  I take no hrt or anything so maybe I should consider this?

I’m so worried about it and keep thinking something awful is wrong. Can anyone help advise if theyve had the same but have found a resolution for this?

Any advice appreciated xx😘😘

    I’m I need Derby Uk, 47 not had period for a year or more, had the fsh test and they decide do I’ve gone through menopause, but couple of weeks ago had a period...totally normal one usual pmt etc normal bleed and duration, Dr got me appointment for the scan going tomorrow.... and to be honest like you am terrified, my anxiety is through the roof! I’ve also go hypothyroidism which they found when my periods stopped in the first place....pretty sure it’s my thyroid stopping my periods as when they put me on a stronger dose of thyroxine they came back with a vengeance .... just praying that it’s  all clear tomorrow.....let me know how you get on x
