Pinkish Vaginal Discharge, Fatigue And Bloating. Irregular Periods. What Is Wrong?
Hi,
I am 52 years old and have had regular periods except a few times in the past year I will have a period every two weeks. I was due my period on May 27th. I only had a light pink discharge when I wiped for about 5 days. Since then nothing. I feel very fatigued, and bloated. I'm two weeks past due unless you count the pink discharge as a period.
Thank you,
D

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
At your present age,it is quite possible that you are in perimenopause. Menopause is diagnosed after a yr of no periods, perimenopause if the time before this point.
It is associated with a number of different symptoms and can actually start up to 6 years before menopause occurs.
If you wish you may visit your doctor for an evaluation which may include blood tests to check the levels of the reproductive hormones.
I hope this helps
