Had my last period March 2019 and started bleeding yesterday. Light and not like a proper period.
I phoned the GP for an appt but they are only doing telephone triage first. The nurse called me. I explained that I am also experiencing lower back pain (last couple of months) and also pain in my left hip more recently. She thinks that's unrelated and general aches.
My smear is due so she has booked me in for that on Monday in the hope the bleeding has stopped and she said to kill 2 birds with one stone she can examine me then.
Should I be asking anything else? Everything I have read suggests it should be a 2 week referral so unsure what the nurse will be able to detect in an examination? Also the smear I assume is not sufficient on it's own to ascertain any issues? The nurse also said to cancel and rearrange appt if I am still bleeding Monday.
I am 51. Any advice greatly appreciated.
