Firstly - so many old threads on this subject but no one seems to follow up with their outcome. I'm looking for reassurance.
I'm 41 we very heavy regular periods and have never had mid cycle bleeding before. It's not occasional spotting either, it's a constant flow needing a pad, just much lighter than a normal period for me. Been going on for 6 days now. Started 9 days in to my cycle.
I'm overdue my smear, I have to have it in hospital with gas and air which has been delayed since March due to Covid. Last smear showed a polyp for first time, but I was told it was normal and not to worry.
Not on birth control or any other hormones. Was tested for perimenopause 18 months ago and hormone levels were spot on then.
I've spoken to my GP over the phone who is referring me to the gyne consultant I'm under, waiting for ablation to treat my heavy periods as it causes anemia.
Obviously Google has me at deaths door with multiple different types of cancer. Does this sound bad? I'm worried but also worried I'm over reacting a bit.
