Spotting After Yeast Infection, In Menopause. Anything To Worry About?
I'll be 49 next month & on the 8th of October, I will be menopausal for 2 yrs. With a recent yeast infection, I've begun spotting, like at the beginning of a period. It's brownish-reddish, but not a true red bleed. I do have my annual OB/GYN appt coming at the end of October. I will definitely mention to him but want to know right now, if you think it's anything to worry about or what could it possibly mean?

Hi, it appears to be the result of the infection, so for cure of the yeast infection, or some other simultaneous infection, i advise you to consult a gynacologist for diagnosis and treatment, as it will be common to have a lot of infections at this time of life. Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you stated that there is yeast infection , so this brownish-reddish spotting may be due to yeast infection .
Sometimes patient may have reddish ( light) spotting even after menopause and this is absolutely normal.
In my opinion this is not a cause of concern as there is no foul smelling. Good luck.
