Brief Answer:
Probably symptoms related to dryness because of menopause, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to vaginal dryness due to menopause.

VaginaL discharge is very common during menopause.

With this condition, vaginal tissues become thinner and more easily irritated. The atrophy can cause light bleeding.

I recommend a colposcopy to confirm the diagnose.

Meanwhile, I recommend using a vaginal moisturizer to reduce the atrophy.

I would suggest Replens vaginal gel for local application in the vaginal area.

Another possible treatment can be a low dose of vaginal estrogen cream such as Estrace, which will replace the low dose of estrogen in the system.

I suggest you to drink liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
