Post menopausal discharge

[moggiek]

I've been period free for about four years, very happily, I must add. In the last few weeks I've been experiencing a significant amount of clear, odourless discharge, to the extent that it can feel like a pre-menopausal flood!!

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I think you ought to see your GP. It may well be vaginal atrophy- which, ironically, can show itself with a wet discharge, and you need oestrogen cream- vaginally. There is also a tiny chance it could be more serious- spotting (blood) after the menopause has to be investigated as it can be a sign of endometrial cancer, but a clear and copious discharge is also a sign ( rarely.)

See this from patient.co.uk

What are the symptoms of endometrial cancer?
In most cases the first symptom to develop is abnormal vaginal bleeding such as:

Vaginal bleeding past the menopause. This can range from spotting to more heavy bleeds. This is the most common symptom of endometrial cancer.
Bleeding after having sex (postcoital bleeding).
Bleeding between normal periods (intermenstrual bleeding) in women who have not gone through the menopause.

Early symptoms that occur in some cases are: pain during or after having sex, vaginal discharge, and pain in the lower abdomen.

All of the above symptoms can be caused by various other common conditions. However, if you develop any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor.

I will, thank you.
