Abnormal Bleeding

Hi,

 

So I’m a huge health worrier anyway, and my doctor has recently diagnosed me with anxiety which I think could be contributing to this.

Basically I’m 25 and have had some abnormal spotting / bleeding everyday in between my usual periods for the last two months. The doctor has re-done my swab / smear test from a few months ago and did a full blood screen / test.  All came back completely normal.  She said she believes it’s most likely hormones causing the bleeding but has referred me for an ultrasound anyway in case of cysts etc.  I was so worried and upset at the appointment that she told me herself it’s not something she’s too concerned about but I’m still panicking that there’s something terribly wrong.

 

If my bloods and smear are fine and she’s told me to relax am I overreacting by still being paranoid! Surely they can’t miss anything hugely serious?

  • Hi there - I think sweetie that you've really answered your own question by saying you worry about your health a great deal. So, yes, I do think that in all probability you are overreacting & the chances of them missing something 'hugely serious' is very remote. Even tho' your GP says she's not too concerned she's sending your for an ultrasound for possible cysts so she's being ultra cautious. She sounds like a very good GP to me.

    If I were you I'd try to sort out your health anxiety issues first - something is causing it & if you could understand why you might be able to see the back of it? Your GP thinks it's hormones why not just trust her & get on with living your life? I don't mean to sound unsympathetic but just realistic. Good luck.

  • Hello, I completely understand your worry! I have been abnormally bleeding for a while now and my doctor sent me for an ultrasound on my uterus and it all came back fine! However I am still bleeding abnormally! It’s starting to worry and stress me out! I have another doctors appointment next week so hopefully I will get some answers because surely it’s not normal to have bleeding/spotting constantly! 

    Xx
