I’ve got urgent referral for heavy bleeding tomorrow… I’m 74 and absolutely beside myself … although I’m ashamed of myself… I can’t bear the thought of my ugly old body being examined…

Hi Shifty,
Sorry to hear you've got to have some investigations. I just wanted to drop by to offer some support. I have had several examinations over the last year, and I too was really worried about it. I'm overweight and a virgin, and the thought of being examined was awful.
However, it was nowhere near as bad as I had built it up to be in my head! All the doctors/nurses put me at ease, and for intimate examinations they do as much as they can to preserve dignity. Yes, it isn't the most pleasant thing in the world, but it's over quickly and is so important in getting the right treatment etc.
Good luck, let us know how it goes xx
Hello… thank you so much for your kind words… I shall think of them tomorrow and let you know how things go…xxx
