postmenopausal bleed
Posted , 4 users are following.
I'm 51 and not had a period for nearly 3 years. Last week I had all the symptoms leading up to a period and now I'm bleeding. My Dr examined me and said she couldn't see or feel anything wrong and thinks that I am just having a period. Do why have I now got to go for a scan. I'm so worried. Thanks for listening.

try not to worry..
could be a number of reasons.. do you take HRT or any other things that may affect you..
a scan is most important ..
a few ladies have had this happen post meno as i have seen their posts on here before..

i dont live in UK .. i am from UK though..
here i pay to see my Gyno, have everything checked, even a 3D breast scan
yes they give you all your results here, had a scan vaginally in Aug
he showed me my ovaries on screen. and uterine lining, told me i was post menopause as uterine wall thin and 4mm ( but may thin abit more) said my ovaries were non functioning no follicles ( post meno)
had smear, also all inside vaginal area checked and cervix, magnified and checked all the cells close up too, pretty thorough ..
then they give you your results and talk to you, and send you home with all the pictures 😳. ( i didnt frame them) 😀
and all for 150€ ..
told me i had vaginal dryness and suggested Ovestin Estriol Cream or Ovules just for vaginal discomfort ... and how they work etc..
i only use on occassion if feel discomfort ..
we had the natural progesterone cream discussion and when i told him what happened to me.. he went on to say how dangerous it was .. and how it messes women up.. how it shouldnt be easy to buy like it is ..
he was amazing 😀

Nurses are payed a pittance ,long hours .again winds me up . Yes matrons were strict ,they ran Hsp ,even Drs use to jump to her tune .,about time we went back to those days in my view ,sooner the better .cleaners spent long time cleaning,then they handed that out to private sector. So we've got what we've got get what you pay for ,grubby Hsp's ,terrible .
