Can anyone advise my DSIS about frequent heavy periods/bleeding - is it an emergency?

[BellaBear]

Hi, my DSIS is away from where she lives for the next month and has had some bouts of non-period type bleeding, every couple of weeks lasting five days or so. She has a bit of a dull ache. She hasn't gone to see an GP about it yet, do you think she should make an emergency appt with a practice here or wait till she is back where she lives? Does it sound serious to you?

(It does to me and I think she should but she is procrastinating so I thought I would find out if it is just me stressing on her behalf)

bump? (Sorry abotu impatience!)

anyone?

Think she should see a doctor first thing in the morning. Bleeding between periods is not normal.

thank you, will pass on

i had this for years and was due to cysts but any bleeding in between should be checked out

thank you, these posts have helped persuade her to go to GP tomorrow
