Sudden blood stained discharge on hrt menopausal

4 days ago I noticed blood stained vaginal discharge when I wiped after a wee

im 61 have been on hrt about 3 years 75 mg Estradiol patches  and 100mg ugesterome 

had transvaginal scan year ago but seemed to fine nothing wrong my symptoms then were urgent need to wee all the time and blood in urine but not bloody discharge 

first day I noticed it it was on and off all day and some pelvic pain

2nd day thecsame

3rd day lot less 

4th day today only slight this morning but nothing since & no pelvic pain

gp attempted internal exam yesterday but I couldn’t tolerate the pain even on 2mg diazepam tablet beforehand

always had difficulties with it as have very small far back cervix 

not had smear test for 10 years 

last one due in Covid Gp practice wouldn’t do because of covid

im referred for emergency appointment with gynaecologist 

gp mentioned it could be due to some inconsistency with changing hrt patch over last 2 weeks as my lovely cat died and I was heartbroken and forgetting things

coukd it be womb cancer?

gp said it was high on the list

  • Hi , i am 56yrs , also on weekly HRT patches and ostreogen tablets once a day..no period for 2 years and suddenly last week a period and cramps out of the blue, this was 2 days after finding out my mum had cancer of the osophoegus... i think it is the shock that has cuased it. But like you i am not sure..

  • Hello Ethers and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your mum and this bleeding you are experiencing, this must be a worry.

    Unfortunately no one can say the cause so it is important to let your doctor know just to be on the safe side. They will probably want to run some tests but see what they have to say.

    Easier said than done but try not to over think things for now.

    I hope you know more soon and do get back in touch if you need to. If you ever want to talk this or your mum's situation through on the phone then call us on 0808 800 4040, we're here week days 9-5.

    Best wishes
