Apologies if TMI... I normally have a very short 3/4 day period. This month I noticed I had PMS and cramping symptoms for 2 weeks before so that I was desperate for my period to get here. I then also got some really watery discharge for a week before my period started. I've not had this before. It then started and was very watery but the blood was red and after two days appeared to almost go, although I still had blood each day. Then I got some brown blood on about day 5 so assumed it was ending. Since then the blood has restarted as fresh red and is continuing although lightly and it’s day 8 now.
Should I be concerned? I don’t want to waste GPs time if this is normal peri-menopause perhaps. But I’ve never had this before. Although I am now 40.
Only other points to note is I have a cervical ectropion. Last smear 22 and was fine. I always have low back pain and constipation and painful bowel movements which I’ve assumed are piles although they are bad this week after not really having anything for a few months. I’m also incredibly anxious this month. It’s almost come from no where, so I’m struggling to look after my horses as I seem to have developed a weird anxiety around them, so again might be suggesting it’s hormonal and start of menopause?
