Title: Advice please, is this normal?
Post by: Jasmine_2015 on June 05, 2019, 05:35:02 AM

Hello, I came off hrt 3-4 weeks ago but the last few days I've been getting some ? fishy discharge/light bleed. I have started using multigyn actigel incase it's bacterial vaginitis but is this something I should be concerned about please? Any advice would be much appreciated thank you!

Hi Jasmine_2015

Your post got missed.

If you stopped HRT then it could be residual womb lining coming away - withdrawal of progesterone can allow this to happen but the fact that it is only slight would mean there is no problem with your lining having thickened (also depends on type and dose of HRT you were taking).

If the discharge smells ie is fishy then this could indicate infection I would say so best to consult doc unless it has resolved by itself - sorry I'm not an expert on vag problems - Maryjane or Dancinggirl are the members who know about these things.

Thank you both! The bleeding has stopped and I'm still taking the gel. It doesn't feel quite right still but hopefully will be back to normal soon.
