Thrush and bleeding - worried

1 reply

Hi I have very bad health anxiety. My periods finished years ago, I am now in my sixties. I have had no bleeding since then. I have had bad bouts of cystitis in the past but no bleeding.

However, last week after I'd had a bath I noticed a blood stain in my pants at the front. Nothing before then and nothing since. I went to see the doctor today and she thinks its thrush as I am very sore down there also, She offered to do an internal but I am frightened of them so she did a urine sample and a swab,

She said that, as the blood stain is a one off, to not worry about it unless it continues but I can't help but worry.

Has anyone had anything like this?

You could try oral probiotics with rhamanous strains in them for thrush..that helps me.. but it happens again go back and get checked.. Vaginas are a hard work, you can’t see what’s going on with them, so sometimes we have to let others have a look! 👀
