Vaginal bleeding

Hells
Offline

I am experiencing bleeding when I poop.  I have a coil fitted so haven't had periods for over 7 years.  Then the last couple of months I have been spotting or having what seems like a period, red blood, brown blood, streaks of blood then nothing.  Then couple of days later, I poop and blood again.  Saw Dr who examined me and said its coming from your vagina so don't worry.  But I am ! They haven't said if I'm menopausal,  I'm 50..have read it could be a hormonal thing..have to strain slightly to poop and I'm always bloated ???

    I would go back to your GP if you are concerned or have further questions. No periods on the coil is normal - I had over 7 years period free like yourself and then starting spotting. I was told hormonal - perimenopausal - but to stay on the coil another couple of years as it would help with menopause symptoms. The coil was removed at the time of my next smear and they expected that I would not get periods back but would be in menopause.  Unfortunately for me that was not the case, I got daily bleeding for weeks on end, bloating and pain - ultrasound showed suspected polyps, which turned out to be fibroids - apparently very common prior to menopause and they normally shrink after,  Personally I would go back and ask further questions
