Totally fed up, have posted here many times. I’m hoping someone can recognise my symptoms because I am stumped and Hospital keep telling me nothing is wrong.
For the past 2 years I have had heavy periods with spotting in between, I say spotting but it’s almost continuous bleeding but heavier when I’m actually on my period, bleeding after sex but no pain, bleed if I strain (to poo). I was eventually referred to gynaecologist last year, had a camera inserted which found one tiny fibroid but nothing else, I was then sent for endometrial ablation and was sterilised at the same time (this was almost 3 months ago). Since the surgery I haven’t stopped bleeding, it’s not heavy but is often pure blood rather than period blood.I have been back to the hospital twice. Last week I was sent for a scan, during the scan I was told that I looked like I hadn’t had ablation as my uterus lining was still thick, I hung around to see a doctor and was then told my scan was normal, I questioned this and was just told that the lining would thin out eventually 🤔. I was told to wait a few more weeks to see if bleeding stops. So far it’s getting worse.
The bleeding is effecting my life so much, it’s making me depressed. I’m single but there’s no way I could date as I would have to explain that I’m bleeding 99% of the time so a intimate relationship would be hard. I can’t wear nice clothes as I’m constantly bloated or the bleeding catches me out. I’m on iron tablets as I feel so drained and dizzy all the time.
I just feel like I’m being fobbed off by the hospital, I can’t see me suddenly getting better in a few weeks, I know things can take a while to settle after ablation but things are not settling at all.
