Hi
I am just wondering if anyone can help. I went for a routine screening check last week and explained that I was bleeding and that I have been for a number of months (not like a normal period though in appearance or other ways). I explained that it might stop for a couple of days but starts again if I have sex. The nurse asked how long I had been bleeding for this time and it has been a month. She attempted the check and stopped immediately to ask me when I last saw a doctor. I told her that I have been backwards and forwards the past year to the GP to complain about the issues I am having but have just been told that I should try the coil. I have only been on the POP for three years and before that, nothing. She booked a GP appt straight away and I have an urgent referral which I know is usual. She was very concerned that I have intense itching/burning sensations on my chest and lower legs (recently my arms too) and that I also have numb, painful blue fingertips often. Basically, from the look on both the nurse and GPs face, I am now worrying but also frustrated as I have been complaining about this for so long.
Is it normal for ectropion to cause bleeding for a year? It is awful and combined with all of the other symptoms I have, it hasn't painted a positive picture at all. I am 35 and had my only child 8 years ago. I was just wondering if anyone else has had anything similar happen. I am a positive person but my experience last week has left me anything but this.
Thank you.
