Gray to green discharge in a woman may be indicative to several STDs.
It depends what your discharge looks like. Women discharge constantly (may have lesser discharge during peri menopause or menopause.) If your discharge is extremely yellow, is foul smelling, dark (reddish color) you should always see your GP and be checked out to be sure you do not have an infection. Discharge for healthy women should be clear to a cream color. After a period, a woman can discharge a brown discharge and this is "old blood" and can pocket inside and it will just release on it owns. Also, there are times just before periods (just starting into menopause) where there is a pinkish hue to discharge and this too is nothing to worry about. If in doubt please seek out your doctor's advice.
It is the other way around. Dropping hormone levels cause menopause.
The thyroid and menopause are related in that a lot of women find out they have a thyroid condition when they are going through menopause. This is because menopause is a time in a woman's life when hormones are affected. Another time in a woman's life when they might find out they have a thyroid condition is during pregnancy or postpartum.
The absence of estrogen in the postmenopausal woman can cause the bladder to drop, or prolapse.

Menopause? Sounds abnormal; get it checked!
Normal discharge varies for each woman. Generally, slightly yellow, white, and clear discharge is normal. The color and consistency of discharge can change depending on where a woman is in her cycle. However, if yellow discharge is abnormal for you, it could be a sign of infection. Bacterial vaginosis is most commonly associated with a yellow or green colored discharge and can also cause some itching around the vaginal area. It is important to make an appointment with your doctor to be properly diagnosed, as some infections require antibiotics.
No ! menopause is just a phase in a woman's life.
No, you can't still ovulate after menopause. Menopause is the process by which a woman's body comes to the end of it's reproductive years and the woman stops producing eggs. Although menopause can take years, once through menopause there is no more ovulation.
One statement about menopause that is false is that it cannot happen to a woman in her 40s.
A woman stops producing eggs at menopause, so no. A woman stops producing eggs during pregnancy too, so if a woman is pregnant they are not in menopause.
