bleeding and pain years after menopause
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi.. Panicking really badly at the moment, I went through the change aged 36.. 22 years ago. I took HRT for a number of years and stopped about 10 years ago. Plain sailing until 3 years ago when i had some pain and bleeding, it was discovered I had a large uterine polyp which was removed, and a mild cistocile and rectocile, for which i have been given a silicone pessary for. I've had a couple of episodes of brown/red discharge since wearing the pessary, both were investigated and found no problem. Yesterday I started again with brown/red discharge, accompanied with left sided pain, it is a liitle worse today, so i have had a swab taken and my GP has reffered me for a PMB appointment on the 30th Dec. Since having the swab done this afternoon the pain is worse and low down central as well as on the left side. I had a normal smear in august 2013. I am really scared and worried now... any advice please

I only ask because I had very similar symptoms after having used a canasten pessary - which cleared up a few days after I had inserted it.
Hope you get sorted soon👍

I have no advice re the pessary as I have not used one, but I can assure you that the PMB clinic is amazing. I was reffered to my local one in Oct and they made me feel at ease from the moment I walked through the door.
I will not bore you with the wheres and whyfores of the clinic here but if you need/want any advise just shout out
(((hug)))
