Post menopausal bleeding

Hello everyone . I have not had a period for 16 years .I am 60 and yesterday I had terrible pains in stomach and was bleeding . This has continued and I am worrying. Can't get in touch with surgery until Monday. Has anybody else experienced this at all..

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    There can be many reasons for why women have bleeding after the menopause and most of the time it won't be the result of anything serious but it is important that you get it checked out . Have a look at what the NHS have to say about post menopausal bleeding here

    If your symptoms get worse before your appointment I would get in touch with NHS111 for advice here

    Even though it is supportive hearing other members of the forum everyone's situation may be slightly different so it is difficult to compare one women's situation with another.

    I do hope that you manage to make an appointment soon.

    All the very best,

    Catherine
