Is the pink discharge, which appears after the cessation of menstruation for a year and four months due to ovarian cysts, considered menstruation?

Pink blood is considered menstruation, as blood colors vary between dark and light. The strongest blood colors are black, then red, then blond, then yellow, then murky. What has an unpleasant odor is stronger than what has no odor, and thick blood is stronger than thin blood. Therefore, any blood seen during these days is menstruation, which prevents prayer and fasting until the woman becomes pure by dryness or the white discharge.
