Pink discharge 16 years after Hysterectomy

[Patty8700]

Hi
For about two weeks now I have been having sticky clear grayish discharge. It comes out of my vaginal area this I am certain of. Today was the first day it was pink. I will have it one day where it kinda gushes out than others where it is very little. I have also noticed some dull pain in my lower back on the left side.
I have also noticed that I am painfully bloated more often with a lot of gas (sorry)
I have read many posts on here where the people who seem to have the same or similar problem, but they say they will come back to give follow up and they never do.
I am not certain if this could be a contributing factor, but 2 weeks ago we had a snow storm and I had to shovel for 2 days and my job is in managment and I had been very stressed around this time as well.
I have not had any problems since my surgery in 1995, where I was diagnosed w/ stage 5 ovarian cancer.
I am 50 years old.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Patty.

How did the doctor know you had ovarian cancer what test did they do first?

That is nice of you Cherie. I have read many posts on here on what this could be, I am not frantic at this point but a bit concerned and if it doesn't let up soon I will make a Dr.'s appt.
I will post my experience with others who may be facing a progressed cancer as I had:
The cancer was a scary thing to say the least. My Gyno & Oncologist were very optomistic that they "got it all".
I had everything removed along with protective sheeths that covered major organs and they did some kind of chemo spray on the lower stomach wall finding bad cells there as well. They deemed it a radical Hysterectomy ;)
I went in for exploratory surgery, my Gyno thinking it was a fibroid cyst, but I signed all the consent forms just in case it was cancer.
I had asked my surgeon to save the cyst so I could see it, (my curious nature) but instead since it was everything she took photo's of it. It looked like an alien laying there, my left ovary was black and shrunken, my right was turning black and she expressed it had burst, explaining some cronic pain I had 3 weeks before the surgery, I went to see her that day and she upped my surgery date 2 weeks worrying about what may be happening.
I followed up with 6 months of Chemo, was VERY in  tune with all my lab results and everything going on, had a few set-backs, but I truly believe had I not had the caring team of physicans I had I wouldn't be here to talk of this.
For anyone wanting to know if there were any symptoms, the only thing unusual I felt was a sharp pain at the end of emptying my bladder, other than that I felt fine!
I hope this will be helpful.
Warm Regards,
Patty.

Patty,

I transfered this the moment I realised you had beat stage 5 ovarian cancer, these ladies know what symptoms to watch for better than I, my hunch is this is not related to the hysterectomy.

any vaginal discharge( for non mensturating ladies) that is not clear is a symptom......you need to report this to your dr asap.

good luck and I hope the ladies here can give you even more advice.
