On Tamoxifen After Primary Tumor In Breast. Mastectomy Done On Right Breast. Have Pink Discharge. Side Effect?

I was on tamoxifen for 4 yrs. after secondary primary tumor in my left breast. I had a previous mastectomy of my right breast. I suffer a discharge that ranges from light pink to brown. I've been checked for this and tested for infections and received a clean bill of vaginal health other than the discharge. Are discharges a known side effect or residual consequence of tamoxifen tx. and is there any explanation or therapeutic intervention for this. Appreciate your response.
