Yes Some dryness. Ovaries removed 2 years ago.
Brief Answer:
do not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
The discharge could be due to vaginal dryness and irritation due to estrogen withdrawal after ovarian removal.
Also would advise a ultrasound pelvis just to rule out endometrial thickening (lining of the womb).
Sometimes in perimenopausal women there can be endometrial thickening or polyp that may present as bleeding (dark blood). But its unlikely in you as your ovaries are already removed.
But better to get a internal examination and a pelvic ultrasound done and rule out infection and endometrial problem.
one more thing do you have any burning when you pass urine?Or a tingling sensation and lower abdominal pain?
hope this helps.
Regards.
