Please not again!

Hi Barbara, I found that my bleeding is probably from vaginal atrophy but was referred to a urogynecologist. I was so scared and relieved that the Dr doesn't think it's cancer but still dealing with it. I now have more yellow discharge than bleeding. I hope it helps some of you to know that it can be a lot of things besides cancer. My Dr says stop googling!

Your story is exactly same as mine. In 2016 after no periods for 16 months I started bleeding. I was 49 at the time, and unrelated ,I’d had an ultrasound the day before for general abdominal pain. Went to doc, but because I’d just had a scan that everything was normal, she just said to go back if I bled again in the next month or so. Also at 49 she said it wasn’t classed as been through menopause.

..anyway another 16 months passed with no bleeding and then I started bleeding again a few wks ago, went back to doc, I’m now 51, was sent to hospital for tests. I had internal scan of uterus , ovaries etc, and a cervix exam with camera. All was normal, nothing there at all, lining was thin. Nurse said hormone surge possibly, and doing anything more invasive to find the cause at this stage would do more harm than good.,as they saw nothing of concern. Told me to keep a diary if I have any bleeding over next 4-5 months , if I do, then to see my doc at the end of 5 months, and they will decide where to go from there.
