Should i be concerned over brown discharge

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi im very new to this forum , i found it by googling, i apologise if this is a long post as id like to give you some of my history. I am now 58

I was all ways on the mini pill or depo injection, so i didnt experiance periods for many years maybe an odd bit of spotting. When i was 53 i was diagnosed with breast cancer and i had to stop taking the mini pill. Every 3 months for a year i had very heavy flooding periods with awfull pain.

Went a year without a period, then heavy flood again, was referred to a gynacologist and had the normal tests, i had polyups removed and diagnosed with thick wall 7mm.

6months passed, heavy bleed again , more tests and hysterscopy uterus wall was now 12mm , 6 months later another heavy bleed and my uterus was 24mm thick , my diagnosis was endometrial hyperplasia without atypia, i had to stop taking my tamoxofen that was prescribed for hormone targeted theropy for breast cancer as they believe this was causing it. Had further biobseys for 6 months last one october last year and i was discharged as they said all normal after stopping meds.

I have had no period since july last year so almost a year, im not that sexally active as i have no desire, but did have sex last week it felt slightley uncomfotable and two days after i have stomach cramps and brown discharge, 3 days later and still discharge and cramps , has anybody else experianced this after sex .

many thanks for reading this long post

    Hi Debbie,

    I've not experienced what you have been through or what you are currently going through but wanted to see how you are. It sounds like you have had a lot to deal with. I think considering your medical history it would be worth discussing this with your doctor, for reassurance if nothing else. Vaginal atrophy can cause dryness down below,this is caused by low estrogen levels. This can make intercourse uncomfortable so maybe have a read about this to see if it applies to you. Treatment for Vaginal atrophy is often very effective. Wishing you all the best, take care.

    Peri-menopause can do this. i had itching for 2 months, scared heck out me. Spanish lady at work says; I think you are ok, don't worry about it'. At busstop going home one day; thick dark brown/black paste cam out of me. It was all weird peri-menopause with less periods... The lady was right.

    Get a check up to be sure, but; I bet you will be ok too.
