estrace @ 1 gram per day. I am experiencing a brownish red discharge. I also seem

Brief Answer:
pap smear and ultrasound advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
You need to get a Pap smear and ultrasound pelvis for these complaints.
Kindly get that done on your scheduled appointment and after that you can discuss further management with me on health care magic.
At your age this symptom can be an early sign of cancer so needs full work up.
All the best.
