Post Menopausal Bleeding

Hi

I have experience Post Menopausal bleeding for the first time, saw doctor on Tuesday and I've got an appointment with Gynaecology on Monday.  Having now googled I have gone into full panic mode, I have been experiencing hip pain and back pain but just put that down to weight and poor fitness.  I am on HRT would this be the cause?  Can anyone tell me what to expect at my Gynae appointment on Monday.

  • Hi..I had a big bleed suddenly last January and I do sympathise as I was so worried too. They will probably book you for further investigation and measure how thick your endometrial lining is. It might be a polyp that has caused the bleed...that's what they first thought for me so was then booked for it to be taken out and they took a biopsy around it to check for cancer. Hope it all goes well for you. X

  • Morning, Hope your okay. 

    I attended A@E yesterday.As I had bleeding after 2 years of no bleeding . They told me that they will refer me to a gynaecologist for further investigations. Had a lot of stomach pains for ages which was put down to my gallblader which Im on a waiting list to have taken out. im equally concerned  because Im worried time is ticking as iv had abdominal  pain for  ages. My symptoms are very same as yours . 

  • I’m on the waiting list for gallbladder removal I had my pre op assessment this morning.  They won’t give me a date till they know the outcome of my gynae appointment at 3.30 today.  I’ll update later when I know more.  

  • this is where I’m at as well. I’m due to have my gallbladder out in the next month or so. I had my preassessment back in December so I’m sure this is going to throw the spare in the works now. I wish you well today and get on okay?

  • Hi JJwilson95

    Just came across your post and wondering how you are? I have the same symptoms as you and have put all of them down (save the post menopausal bleeding) to gall stones. I had my gall bladder removed 6 weeks ago and the symptoms have not gone away. I have an ultrasound and biopsy on Thursday. I am scared and in pain. I have stomach pain, pain in back passage and pelvis (I had put the pelvic pain down to the arthritis I have in my hip).

    I really hope that have been seen and your symptoms have resolved or are being dealt with.

    Best wishes

  • Hi there Tina and thanks for posting on here

    I am sorry to hear about your recent surgery and the symptoms you are experiencing.

    Hopefully you will have some more information after the ultrasound and biopsy. Do let your doctor know about your ongoing symptoms so they can help you manage these.

    The person who you are replying to hasn't posted for a while which is why I thought I would get back to you instead.

    Wishing you all the best

  • Thanks Naomi

    I have spoken to my Dr about the continuing symptoms when I went to see her about the bleeding and she is concerned they are now not to do with gall bladder as should not be continuing. 
    I will hopefully get some answers tomorrow at the scan.

    thankyou

  • Hi Tina. I hope your okay, it's an awful worrying time. Please don't Google, it's the worst thing to do. It always tells us the worst stories and not the good ones. 

    they put bleeding down to HRT and had to increase it. 

    I'll say a little prayer for you & I'll be thinking of you. Please keep in touch xx
