Discharge during menopause in women differs primarily in color. Normally, with the onset of menopause, a woman begins to release mucus from the cervical canal and uterus. A clear or sometimes whitish liquid can be discharged from the vagina in a different consistency. The mucus should not have an unpleasant odor or itchiness.

In more rare cases, a woman may have no vaginal discharge at all, so the appearance discharge of a different color indicates the presence of significant changes in the state of the uterus and ovaries.

Most often, mucous manifestations can have the following color:

• Brown;
• Red;
• yellow;
• green;
• grey.

Brown

Discharge during menopause in women may be accompanied by slight bleeding. Such discharge indicates the removal of particles of the old endometrium. After cleaning the surface of the uterus, the discharge should completely stop.

In case of dark red and brown discharge, an urgent need to consult a doctor. Most often, this type of discharge indicates the presence of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or polyps in the genitals. Brown discharge is an alarming sign, especially with a prolonged absence of menstruation. In this case, the number of secretions may not always be large. Brownish discharge can be smearing.

Treat brown discharge in different ways. Treatment for fibroids and polyps consists in systematic observation and, if necessary, performing an operation to remove damaged tissue or uterus in whole or in part.

In endometriosis, hormone therapy is considered the main treatment. Preparations Janine, Logest, Regulon are drunk in courses, depending on the state of health and the effectiveness of the impact.

Yellowish

Discharge during menopause in women of a yellowish color without an unpleasant odor and a transparent consistency can be considered normal. The manifestation of a yellow tint may be associated with the peculiarities of the production of mucus by the body. In some cases, yellowish discharge can be triggered by urinary incontinence with weakening of the pelvic muscles. In this case, a small amount of urine may flow and mix with the discharge from the uterus.

To restore the condition of the muscles, a woman needs to strengthen them through Kegel gymnastics.

Red

Bloody discharge from a woman's genitals is considered normal immediately after menopause. During the period of completion of reproductive processes in the body, the amount of hormones produced changes. The tissues of the vagina and canals dry up and begin to renew. The superficial layer of the uterus gradually changes and becomes cleansed. Until the endometrium is completely withdrawn, minor spotting is the norm.

If the bloody discharge is profuse (a woman changes up to 10 pads in 1 day), then in order to prevent large blood loss, it is important to immediately start treatment. In most cases, a woman's body can experience a violation of the blood clotting process, stagnation of secretions and extensive damage to the surface of the uterus.

In this case, the woman is cleansed in the hospital under anesthesia and hemostatic therapy (tranexam) is prescribed. It is important to reduce physical activity on the female body and eliminate stressful situations. To restore the state of the uterus, a decoction of nettle is used. It helps to restore the reproductive system and the cessation of vaginal discharge.

Constant spotting can be signs of fibroids, in which the muscle tissue of the uterus grows. Fibroids can be malignant and affect all genitals. With a sharp progression of the disease, inflammatory processes begin in the uterus, which are accompanied by an increase in body temperature and require urgent surgery.

White

If the vaginal discharge is bright white and has an unpleasant odor, and the concentration of the discharge is thick and cheesy, then most often the cause of this is the appearance of thrush (candidiasis). White discharge comes out in flakes with a sour odor and is accompanied by itching in the genitals. The surface of the external genitalia may swell and swell.

For the treatment of thrush during menopause, antifungal drugs are prescribed. Fluconazole, flucostat are drunk by mouth once, and if necessary, repeat the reception. And suppositories (pimafucin, zolain) are inserted into the vagina every day until complete recovery.

Persistent white discharge with bloody impurities even after treatment can be a manifestation of erosion (destruction of the surface layers) of the cervix and dysplasia. Erosion of the cervix is ​​removed by laser cauterization, and dysplasia is removed with surgery.

Grayish

White discharge from the uterus with a gray tint is not always a sign of a disorder. If the grayish discharge does not have an unpleasant odor, then the gray color may be an indicator of vitamin imbalance, dehydration, or taking various medications.

Gonorrhea is often accompanied by a damp-greenish discharge. In the external genitals, severe itching and burning appear, and the woman constantly has the urge to urinate.

Green

During menopause, a woman may have green vaginal discharge. Any green discharge is an indicator of a purulent process in the genitals. In most cases, such discharge is accompanied by an unpleasant odor.

• gonorrhea, which is associated with a grayish-green discharge. Pain, burning sensation may appear in the genitals. A woman's urination process is disturbed.

Treatment of sexually transmitted infections is carried out with antibiotics of certain groups (ceftriaxone, azithromycin), as well as antiseptic and antifungal drugs (tinidazole, flagin, ornidazole).

Smell

Discharge of any color is not an indicator of a serious violation in the absence of an unpleasant odor.

If the liquid mucus has an unpleasant odor, this is a manifestation of infectious diseases of the genital area, which require drug treatment.
