What Causes Pink Vaginal Discharge?

Two days ago I had a small amount of pink discharge with red specks in it (I ve never had this before). I have been diagnosed with PCOS in my left ovary and I have not gotten my period since May when I went off my birth control. I have not had any more pink discharge since two days ago. What could this be?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Dear. Pink bleeding/discharge between periods is caused by a small amount of blood being expelled by the body and mixing with your cervical fluid to give it the pinkish look. Often caused by:

1. Hormonal Contraceptive.
2. Ovulation Spotting.
3. Implantation Bleeding.
4. A Hormonal Imbalance such as Low Progesterone.
5. A Delayed or Partial Period.
6. Hormonal Imbalances caused by Perimenopause or Menopause.
7. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
8. Rarer Cases – Cervical Cancer, Endometriosis, Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases & STDs

Kindly consult a gynecologist who will take your detailed history and may order for tests like ultrasound abdomen and pelvis.
