Bleeding during sex

I'm 41 and have been bleeding continously for 5 weeks. I'm currently on the pill. I have had a smear 6 months ago and they thought they had seen something abnormal maybe polyps or something so was referred to gynecologist. 

I had my app at gynecologist and they said eveything was good and it's old scar tissue. 

So when I went again to doctors recently cause I have been bleeding they did an examination and when i asked they said it looked abnormal and if they didn't have notes for gynecologist they would refer me. 

Advice is to leave it and continue on pill. During sex yesterday I bleed quite alot....what should.i do?

  • Go back and ask for further test such as a transvaginal scan where they can look at your uterus etc. This type of bleeding is not normal. But could be caused by a number of things. Polyps, fibroids etc. but needs investigating. Make it clear if you are worried and how it is affecting you. Wishing you all the best.

  • Thank you just feel there maybe something wrong that's been missed. Transviginal scan? Don't know if I've has this? Is this a internal scan?

  • Yes it is an internal scan where they look at your womb, I had one in the past due to heavy bleeding where they thought I had fibroids and then another a couple of years later due to further heavy bleeding and spotting to check to see if the coil I was given to manage symptoms was was in the correct place.

    You know your body and when something is wrong - as I have learnt more and more you have to advocate for yourself. No harm in going back and seeing another doctor, explaining your additional symptoms and asking to be referred.
