Hello Wendy and thanks for your post

Post menopausal bleeding can have a range of different causes and most won't be linked to cancer but the important thing is that this is going to be investigated. You can read more about post menopausal bleeding here. As well as a thickened uterine lining being a possible cause other things like polyps in the cervix, fibroids or thinning or inflammation in the vagina can also cause bleeding.

Waiting for your hospital appointment to come through to have further tests and see what the doctors think is inevitably worrying. But hopefully people will come along and share their experiences with you, as support like this can be invaluable. But it’s important to bear in mind that even if there are other people who have experienced similar things to you, I’m not sure that their experience will explain what may be going on with you.

I hope you know more soon and that everything turns out to be okay. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
