What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Brown Vaginal Discharge?

Hello, I am 66 years old and started having cramping and brownish discharge. Cramps feel just like a normal period when I was young. Discharge has been going on for about 24 hours now. Any answers as to why this would occur now. I have been on and HRT (prempro) for decades.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would like to know the cause you were prescribed HRT.
If the cause is no more there, in my opinion, it should be stopped.
I like to ask you:
1. is there any itching in the vaginal area?
2. is there any burning sensation or dryness?
3. is there a foul smell in the discharge?

I would suggest some tests:
1. Hysterosonography (HSG)
2. lower Abdominal USG
3. Complete Blood Count.

Please post the results and answers. If too much cramp, you can take Dicycloverine hydrochloride, if needed.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
