Hi All
I am new here. I really do not know where to begin. I am 59 years of age.Had food poisoning around 6 years ago (Campylobacter) I was in hospital for over a week and on a drip. A week after coming out I had noticed that my womb had dropped,not out of the vagina but inside.I went to the doctor and she told me that its was because of me visiting the loo all of the time in hospital due to food poisoning.Anyways 2 years ago I had a bleed. I am post menopausal. It was just a day of spotting really.It went away.6 Months later I had another bleed both very light. I went to the doctor who said that it was probably due to my prolapse.He said give it a week and if you are still bleeding I was to go back.Well a year and a half passed nothing until 6 weeks ago when I had a show bleed again,its was like pink.Went away for 3 weeks,now yesterday again. I went to the doctor and boy did she scare the life out of me.She had no compassion what so ever.She gave me an internal and could see the bleed but did not know where it had come from(.I had a smear test a couple of weeks ago,results clear) The doctor after the examination I kid you not ladies said "Well it could be cancer,its very dangerous to bleed at your age"I asked "What erm well what else could cause the bleed?"Her reply "I dont know I am not a gynacologist" I was so scared that I went into a walk in centre that evening for reassurance.The doctor who I saw was so lovely and was very upset and shocked the way I had been treated. The doctor explained to me that there are a host of other reasons why I am bleeding,and went into some of them.Although they always have to look for anything sinister first,this is normal procedure etc. I get like tummy cramps like period pains and a dull back ache..The bleeding is very intermittent. Also when the bleeding has stopped the cramps seem to go away also.The bleeding does not cause me to need a sanitary towel,as its not that much.The doc did say that I could have a Polyp or fibroid even after the menopause.I have an appointment with the hospital fast track in two weeks. I am really scared. Has anybody else had this? Would be so greatfull for a response.
