A bit concerned re bleeding

I am peri and since I found out my periods are all over the place, been 2 years now. However the one thing for sure is I have signs of blood everyday. I can go all day long with no blood but then all of a sudden there will be a slight jelly like discharge with blood stain in my knickers. I guess it's like a bloody mucus. I've always put this down to the menopause but I stupidly decided to google it as it's just annoying and everything comes back with cervical cancer symptoms!! I had a smear beginning of the year and all was fine but getting myself a bit worked up about it and as we know ladies anxiety is even worse during menopause! Does anyone else suffer with this type of discharge/blood/mucus? Thank you all x

    I bled for 68 days straight, I went to the Dr, did a pap and a test for cervical cancer, all fine.  Put me on Norethisterone, I stopped bleeding came off of it, got my period and had a normal one stopped bleeding after 5 days.  I am scheduled next week for an ultrasound and follow up.  I am 52 and have never misssed a period and other than the bleeding I feel fine.

    Hi Tacky,

    I have a mucus discharge, often with a bit of blood, all the time. I wear a tampon everyday. I have never even worried about it!! It's been going on for years, and I have had PAPs regularly.

      Thanks Jennifer, it's just so annoying! We have smear tests every 3 years and they're reluctant to do them in between unless totally necessary. x

    Hi Tracky, you sound very worried. cry Maybe a visit to your doctors is in order.

    I`m 51 and my periods have been irratic for a while now. I know that over the past couple of years I have become more anxious. Hope things sort them selves out for you. Best wishes. x

      Thanks Michele, I think it's easy to blame everything on the menopause so I've booked an appointment x

    Hi Tracky, I had the very same issue and I was very worried as you are now. I got a GP referral and at the hospital it was found that I had uterine polyps which were then removed. Although I have many other peri-menopausal problems like all of the ladies on this forum, the daily blood spotting did stop once I had the polypectomy. Best wishes to you that you will get this sorted and feel better physically and mentally x
