Okay TMI alert re Period. Does anyone else have this problem?? PCOS Sufferers maybe???

[singyswife]

Sorry for the TMI but have been suffering alone for long enough now and need some support/advice. I get (currently) vaginal discharge like at the beginning and end of a period. This can go one for 2-3 weeks, with the pain associated with a period. This can often be accompanied by sporadic heavy bleeding (maybe once every few days I will have a bleed for an hour or so), then it all goes away, I feel totally crap, the gp looks at me like I have horns. I have been going on like this for about 2 weeks now and this is not the first time this has happened. Can anyone shed any light. I also have PCOS and wondered if this was some crazy mad side effect. Thanks and sorry if TMI but am totally pissed off with how I feel and need to know that I am not alone. Thanks

Hi Singyswife - I have pcos and haven't experienced anything like this. Your GP is really bad not to investigate any further as I believe any unexplained vaginal bleeding should be investigated. I think you need to go back with your hard hat on and demand a referral. Best wishes, I'm sure it is nothing to worry about but worth trying to find out a bit more.

Bumping my own message sorry but just need to chat a bout this.

Anyone??

No advice or experience I'm afraid, but bumping for you. Personally, I'd be seeing a different GP.

Have seen several and a Gynie. No help though.

you do need to see your gp and get a refferral to gynae.

Agree that you need a different GP. You shouldn't have to be putting up with this. Don't know about PCOS, I'm afraid but go and see a nice GP and insist that this is investigated further.

have they investigated the cause at all, tried any treatments?

Yeah they have investigated, scans, internals, gynie appointments etc. They have also tried several treatments and yet I am STILL like this. I totally hate it and I hate complaining about it as I always feel that people are sick of hearing me as they have heard it all before.

It's possible to get a referral via your local sexual health clinic. I did this when my gp dismissed my concerns for over a year.

I've had PCOS and don't remember any symptons like these.
