In November 2021, my GP sent me to A&E due to very heavy bleeding that had lasted a couple months at that point. I was given tranexamic acid injection and tablets then sent home for a follow up ultrasound to come in the post.
I went for the ultrasound and saw the gynaecologist at the hospital after who confirmed I have PCOS and that my womb lining was thick, she said 16? But I don't know what that means in relation to womb thickness.
I was told to lose weight and to come back if I wanted kids in the future.
The tranexamic acid did stop that heavy bleeding and I went to having no periods again or very light spotting occasionally until November 2022 (clearly Novembers are cursed) I've now had heavy bleeding again since November 27th, I called the GP back and have been sent for bloods, referred back to the gynea and will be having another ultrasound on the 20th. She also gave me a weeks worth of northiserone to stop the bleeding.
This time around though since November I have had a sharp pain in the right side of my pelvis, and over the past couple of days it is now getting worse and is taking my breath away. I'm finding it hard to go out about my day to day tasks even with pain killers.
GP have said there isn't much more they can do until the bloods come back and I've had the ultrasound as they need gynea to see me really.
Do I just wait it out until gynea send me an appointment or is this pain something I should be presenting at A&E for? (I get it's not life or death but I don't see how else I'm going to get it investigated)
What might be clouding my judgement is my mum had a hysterectomy last year due to cancer and her main symptom was heavy bleeding so that's always causing a panic for me.
