At the age of 42 it could be menopause that knocking at your door that at times is troublesome. you can have irregular menstrual cycle before menopause sets in permanently. The streaky discharge in between is troubling. It can also be due to numerous other reasons like endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial / cefvical malignancy or associated cervicitis. Early diagnosis is important so get it done asap.
