Fibroids, Discharge, Frequent Periods

[terryann99]

Hello. I am worried and need some help. I have had uterine fibroids for 10 years and increasingly heavy bleeding. I also had an ebolization in 2004 and it did not do anything to reduce the fibroids, though one year later they had not increased in size. This year I am having amazingly heavy periods, as well as a brownish discharge that starts right before my period begins, and this time I am noticing that I am having the discharge During the period as well. It is watery and brownish, even a little yellowish, and is definitely different than the blood. I also have had a couple of occasions where I have had 2 periods in one month (meaning the periods started 2 weeks apart). I am 54, almost 55 and have not yet entered menopause that I know of. I would like to know if it is possible that fibroids can cause this discharge? Are the frequent periods possibly due to the onset of menopause? I do not always have periods this close together, just occasionally. I have an ultrasound and gyn appointment, but it isn't until May 1 and I am worried. Thank you for any help you can offer.
