Bleeding for 60 day

[Flo112]

Hopeful that someone can give me some words of wisdom because right now my mind is in over drive..I can’t stop crying..I have been bleeding for 60 days
I had a period on the 11th to the 16th of June all was normal maybe not as heavy but still ok.was due on round about the 7th of July I think.it never arrived that week I felt all out of sorts just feeling a bit crap took a number of pregnancy tests all negative.so on the 16 July started bleeding just wee bits here and there no enough to put a pad on and it was like that for maybe a week following week some days needing to wear a pad it was like that for weeks but since the 1st of September it’s been horrendous I’m gushing will blood having to change so many time super heavy..I was worried that going to the g.p would just fob me off with its just a period crap so never went..until Saturday I was bleeding so bad and feeling horrific I went to out of hours not much use basically said make appointment with ur gp on the Monday and take it from there..so I did went to see them she arranged blood test I have had them done today.i have a smear book for 29th of September but that feels so far away when u r so worried..I have tablets to take Tranexamic acid tablets..I’m so scared that I have cancer or I’m going to collapse with how much blood I am losing thanks

I’ve had this too and in my case ablation surgery stopped the bleeding.

How old are you? If you are in your 40s or 50s such peri menopausal bleeding often has a cause and it can be due to hormones (estrogen and progesterone fluctuations). You could become anaemic due to the blood loss. Take the prescribed tablets and see how effective they are over the next few days. If these do not work there are other tablets that can be tried.

Will your gp refer you to a gynaecologist, I would ask about this. Smear test is unlikely to be a factor here.

Ensure you keep in close contact with the GP and keep them up to date.

No mention of any sort of ultrasound scan?

Hi thanks for your reply.i am 39 40 next year..the doctor never mentioned anything about referral to gynecology.

I'd go back to your GP, ask for tranexamic acid and/or northisterone, which can both help massively with heavy bleeding. Then get a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound to see if its something like fibroids etc. Ask to see gynaecology because you want an ablation or to go down that route. Once the ultrasound results come back, you'll see what your working with and can go from there, in the meantime take the meds and if you would be willing a mirena coil can also help. It does treat the cause as it uses a synthetic version of progesterone to thin your uterus lining, which is what sheds, so as it gets thinner and less blood vessels dominate the area = less cramps and less bleeding. If you want pain relief you can get it (paracetamol/ibuprofen 1h before, Licodaine injection into the cervix, numbing gel). I hope you get some relief soon.
