Post Menopause Bleed

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi Ladies, its been a while since I've been on here. I guess because once I hit post my symptoms started to ease up the farther i got. I hit the 2 year mark last month and guess what happened? I got a bleed which scared the daylight out of me. Can you believed it happened around the same time i would have had my period. You know you've heard the saying once you hit menopause after 12 months should be no bleed. Here's my story: I was drinking this detox /hormone imbalance herbal tea and i would notice each time i drank it i got a bit pms like a period wanted to come back. So because of this i stopped the tea. I decided to try again last month and i drank one cup before my morning walk thinking while sweating it would definitely bring the toxins out, I return from my walk and drank another cup and maybe a cup throughout the day. I also drink lots of green tea througout the day ( but no longer). Moving forward- next morning my morning pee i wiped and it was pinkish . I thought maybe it was just dryness because i do suffer with that along with vaginal atrophy. I drank more tea this day as well. The next morning pee i wiped and red not pinkish, ohh sh-- my heart started racing and thumping so hard! I was screaming Oh Lord! Yall, the peri/menopause really brought anxiety and health anxiety on me. I was never this way until this change of life approached me. Before the day was over it was like a full period, i started out with liners but had to use the pads before the day was over . The more i drank the more it flowed, so i stopped the tea and eventually it stopped after 4 days. I made an appointment with my GYN but she couldn't get me until 2 wks away. Too long , with my health anxiety. I made another appointment with my primary dr and was able to get appointment in 2 days. A pap smear was done which came back bacterial vaginosis, ( which i'm constantly seem to deal with since menopause) transvaginal ultrasound was done which show endometrial lining 4mm, but calcification along lining 5mm ( i think this is what freaked me out the most because ive never heard of it and cant seem to find much info on it) . A biopsy was order but i told my primary dr that I prefer to have it done with my regular gyn. Dont know if that was a mistake or what . It took 3 weeks to get the results, was told it would be 7-10 days.. But my GYN was very concerned and wanted to know the whole detail of what happened. She did say that the tea could have had an estrogenic effect. I just a got call from them today, I was too freaky nervous with anxiety to even call. I had to schedule a telemed with her for next week. So more anxiety just waiting. Anyone else ever had a post menopause bleeding ? Biopsy? calcification? any of these? Oh, I did contact the company i got the tea from and was told that this wasn't anything new to them. It has happened to other women as well in menopause. I did feel an effect while taking it, my libido changed, energy, calmer, an overall wellness feel. Now, since all of this what was no symptoms seem to return . I'm hoping and praying it was only tea .Sorry this post is so long but thank you for reading it.
