I'll say before I start that I will be going back to the GP about this, I'm not just going to leave it regardless of the responses here. So, I've been having some bleeding after sex for a while now, not every time but fairly frequently. Saw GP a few months ago, had some tests (although probably not thorough enough to put my mind fully at rest) and was diagnosed with a small cervical ectropian which GP deemed the likely cause of the bleeding. But a few times since then it's been as though sex has brought on a proper (heavy, full of clots) period and I wondered if anyone else had experienced the same?
I'm 49 and my periods are already completely haywire, have been for a few years now. I had about 18 months of them being horrendously heavy/clotty and prolonged (I bled for 8 weeks straight at its worst) but they've seemed to be slowing down/tailing off for about the last year, much lighter now usually and less regular, can be a couple of months between. On two random occasions now I've had no bleeding immediately after sex but a day later a massively heavy period will start. No idea if period was due as there's no such thing for me these days, they turn up when they feel like it and both of these post-sex periods have seemed heavier than is 'usual' (whatever that is!) for me lately.
Not looking for medical advice, just anecdotal evidence (or not) that this could just be yet another weird peri thing so I know how much to worry whilst waiting for my GP appointment really! No other worrying symptoms, no weight loss, urinary changes, unusual tiredness etc but am still obviously concerned about possibilities other than floopy peri hormones. I did have a smear amongst the tests a few months ago but was HPV negative so I assume they didn't actually look at the slide 🙄
