Experiencing Cramping During Ovulation. Noticed Several Cervical. Leaking Colostrum. Related To Aging?
I am have been noticing some changes in my body lately. Separately I wasn't concerned but I am wondering if combined I should be. I have had two children vaginally and breast fed both but the last was almost 6 years ago. I have been experiencing cramping during ovulation for the last six months or so (never before then). My Dr. saw several cervical polyps during my last exam but the pap came back normal. Now I am leaking colostrum from one duct on one side. I have not had inter course since my last period so I shouldn't be pregnant. Are these related or is my body just changing at 35?
Hello & thanks for your Q on HCM Having midcycle abdominal cramps is fairly N as it is due to ovulation. Cervical polyps will not normally cause any pain - they will cause intermenstrual / post coital bleeding OR vaginal discharge. As PAP sm was N - it is fairly unlikely for you to have cervical cancer. Re breast discharge - you must get it looked at by Dr for proper breast examination +/- USS &/or mammogram depending on examination findings & any other risk factors. Usually colostrum like breast discharge is due to overactive mammary glands possibly secondary to hormonal changes OR pituitary adenoma ( normally it will cause other symptoms + breast discharge from both the sides|). If you have blood stained discharge that may indicate underlying concerns re cancer. Also another most important test you must have is blood hormonal profile - Estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, cortisol, prolactin,testosterone & thyroid fun test. Hope this helps you
