Hi
Don’t know if anyone can help me with this one. I started taking Arimidex in July. In September I started bleeding. Went to the gynae clinic and they recommended Replens. Have been using it for a week and have found it to be rather messy - if you get my drift! Now I’ve begun to have a horrid yellow discharge. It’s not smelly - although I haven’t got my nose that close!
Has anyone else experienced problems of this kind? Not sure what to do, do I stop using it or what???

Hi Lynda
I had the same prob which happened 2-3 months after taking arimidex - see post by going to search and typin in ‘vaginal discharge’ (prefer your way of describing it! mine was a bit direct!!! lol!!) anywya you’ll see the post thread - and couple of other ladies too had same prob - I was fortunate and mine went after 2 or 3 months - cant rem now - says on that post - and now I dont have any symptoms at all from arimedex. At the time my consultatn said that there was no reason to get such a problem from arimedex, but somewher on the net i found somethin that indicated that there occasionally is a side effect and its bleeding/discharge although the my consultant never backed this up. and I am not a doctor so you should get it checked out, i had a ultra scan to check to see if there was any probs and the next day it cleared up !! was weird!
anwyay, perhaps you should ask for a ultra scan just to make sure, i am not sure whta replens is, but all can say is I hope like mine the problem sorts itself out soon - i put it down to the body just gettin used to it and takes time for the hormonal balance or non balance to be adjusted.
good luck!

hi lynda I have been on arimidex for 8 weeks and I have been taking replens and have the same yellow discharge as you have so obviously its all part of the side effects of the treatment Take care love suzan x
Hello!
Many thanks for your help. Since my last posting I’ve also had some dark speckles appear - I’m tempted to say its soot! but perhaps that is over reacting!
Love

have you tried Sylk for vaginal problems. It doesn’t seem to have any side effects and you can get it on prescription. Just a thought!
