Bleeding while on HRT

Hello everyone 

I have been on HRT gel for about two years and have been bleeding this week, started as a watery/pink colour, then bright red and now black - I have a dull ache in my lower abdomen - should I worry - my doctors are very difficult to get an appointment 

thank you 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    A breakthrough one off bleeding episode is not uncommon, whilst taking HRT. But if the bleeding is heavy, or continues on, with or without pain/discomfort or other symptoms, then it is sensible to get this checked out by your GP. There is usually straightforward reasons, but it makes sense to get it assessed for peace of mind. 

    I hope that this is helpful,

    Best wishes,
