47 Years Old. Having Irregular Periods. Noticed Black Clotty Discharge. Should I Be Concerned?

Question: I am 47 & have irregular periods & believe it is due to the beginning process of menopause - today was day 1 of what I thought was going to be the beginning of my period which I have not had in 2 - 3 months - but I am only seeing what is usually the end & am noticing a very black clotty discharge. Is there any cause for alarm (Please note - when turning left to get out of the van today I had a very sharp pain on the left side under by chest)
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
From premenopause to menopausal phase periods keep on decreasing & decreasing & finally get stopped. If there occurs excessive bleeding in this phase then it is a matter of worry.
you are going in right direction & no need to worry.
Pain on left side under chest is a different matter, it can be related to cardiac problem or muscular; for that consult your physician & get ECG done.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be happy to solve your further queries. In case you are satisfied with my answer, please close the discussion and put a rating for it.
