I would like to know what cause the discharge to change color even if it isn't your time of month. could menopause cause it? it is like when you are about to start your period just before you start. but I had my menstral and lately it seems to stay and be more discolored. why? I know I am going through menopause. I have all the symptoms and so forth. not to mention my periods have been off for months at a time. please repond. thanks.
