Hi

I started my period late last week after almost 14 months clear!

I've just been researching and it states that i should see a doctor? Is this correct even if it's my first one after so long?

Thanks

    I would go and see a doctor/nurse at your practice.

    I started bleeding nearly five months ago after being period free for more than four years..

    I spoke to a medical professional and they said if you have been period free for more than a year and you start bleeding you should contact them and they will have you looked at within gynaecology within two weeks.

    I was seen within two weeks and I had a very large endometrial polyp removed under General anaesthetic totally within 6 weeks.

    I am not a doctor and I'm a big feardie (Scottish) when it comes to all that as I have health anxiety and I've had it all done and also a merina coil fitted which they said keeps the lining of the womb thinner as a thicker lining can cause bleeding.

    Any questions. don't hesitate contact me as I've recently went through all this.

      thanks for this Heather.

      Did you have any symptoms other than the bleeding? ive had a bad pain in my lower back for a number of weeks now and my stomach feels so sore and tender inside, which ive thought was due to period pain?

      Definitely better to see a doctor.

      I had no pain just the post menopausal bleeding.

      Please see the doctor, as the sooner the better to help with anything.

      Let me know how you get on.

    Don't wait for the bleeding to stop as I was still bleeding up to the day of my operation.

    I am also spotting with getting the merina coil , which is normal , they say you could bleed

    for up to six months.

    Seriously they see that kinda thing everyday of the week and I am uber frightened with health anxiety and I am very glad I didn't wait.

    Good luck with whatever choice you make.
