Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The light pink discharge can be from local vaginal mucosa due to atrophic vaginitis or related to a urinary infection. A direct examination by a gynecologist is necessary to find out the source of bleeding.
Do get a routine urine test also done to rule out a urinary infection.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
