Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We understand your concern regarding the brown discharge and hot flashes you've been experiencing.
These symptoms are not typical and may suggest a hormonal response. Kresendo contains phytoestrogens, which can mimic estrogen activity and potentially cause hormonal fluctuations. While the supplement is designed to support hormone balance, in some women, it can lead to temporary shifts in estrogen levels, resulting in symptoms like hot flashes or spotting.
Brown discharge often indicates old blood being expelled from the uterus or vaginal tissues. Possible causes include hormonal fluctuations from the supplement, increased blood flow to the pelvic area, or residual endometrial shedding, even in postmenopausal women.
Regarding the hot flashes, if the supplement is affecting estrogen levels, it could trigger temporary hot flashes as your body adjusts. If your hot flashes were previously under control, the supplement might be disrupting your hormonal balance.
Here's what you can do next:
- Monitor Symptoms: If the brown discharge is light and stops within a few days, it may not be concerning. However, if symptoms persist, worsen, or become uncomfortable, you should stop taking the supplement. It’s important to consult a doctor if postmenopausal bleeding continues to rule out other causes.
- Pause the Supplement: Consider pausing the supplement for a few days to see if the symptoms resolve.
- Support Your Body: Hydrate well and support your body with vitamin-rich foods. Vitamins C, E, and Omega-3s may help balance hormone activity.
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: If the brown discharge persists for more than a few days or is accompanied by pain, please consult a healthcare provider for further advice.
