I am 50 and to be honest I thought I had gone through the menopause. I hadn't had a period since Jan 2015, and the hot flushes stopped about three months ago.
However, I had another period in Jan 2016, so 12 months since the last one. This period was pretty normal, nothing unusual in terms of flow or anything.
Ten days later, I started to notice bright red, not dark, blood on tissue every time I go to the loo. It's not really enough to have to use sanpro, although I did use a tampon just to make double sure that's where the blood was coming from and it is.
I went to see GP and she doesn't seem that interested. She thinks it may be linked to stress - I just had a string of awful things happening, including losing a parent. She told me to come back in a week and she would investigate further. I now wish I had asked her to check me out whilst I was there. I don't really understand why I have to go back in a week!!
The bleeding has continued for five days now and is still very light and doesn't feel at all like having a period.
Obviously I have googled my symptoms and have convinced myself I have cancer. Can anyone share similar experiences going through menopause? Try to put my mind at rest?
