Hi,

I had the same symptoms. I had my last period about 5 years ago. I am now 55. About 3 years ago I had 2 separate episodes of bleeding. They didn't last long but alarming when you have gone through the menopause. I was referred to the hospital for an ultrasound and hysteroscopy. They said I had fibroids but everything came back clear on both occasions. 
Then 3 days ago I had brown discharge which after reading is also blood. It only lasted for one day but I had been having pain in the lower left pelvis and back ache. The other really weird thing was I had sire nipples for about a week which have now stopped after the discharge. I phoned the doctor and they told me to take a urine sample in to rule out an infection. It came back clear. But the doctor mentioned that I had had a ct scan about 5 weeks ago on my pelvis and abdomen ( for a separate issue) and showed the fibroids but everything else was clear. 
I am really panicking as I have a constant dull pain on left side. It's not really bad but it's there. The brown discharge is worrying me even though it has now gone. 
I am ringing for an appointment again tomorrow to get checked out. I don't know if fibroids can cause all these symptoms?

Dear Angel Mac, 

Please get it checked. Insist on a scan. It may be nothing but don't wait.

Hi  Ceyenne,

Thank you for commenting on my post. I phoned the doctor today and I am being fast tracked for an ultrasound first so I have to wait for the appointment. Just crossing my fingers it is all related to the fibroids. Very very scared,

Hi Angemac,

how are you? Have you been to the doctors?

Hiys, 

Don't be scared. It's best to do something about it - whatever it is and don't be fobbed off or intimidated by the virus.

Brst of luck

Hi Jacki

i phoned the doctor yesterday and she said she’s referring me for another scan. It could take 3 weeks due to Covid but might be quicker as this is a red flag. At least I will know then. Thanks for your reply

Hi Ceyenne

You are right. As nervous as I am about it and about visiting a hospital right now I just have to brave it. Thank you for your encouragement xx 

Hi,

thanks for replying. Let me know how you get on please,

take care

Hi I have just been referred on a 2week pathway as I have been spotting for 5 weeks. Only there when I wipe and brown not red. I am 61 and have been taking HRT for 6 years. I have had a change of HRT because of shortages. I was wondering why would the doctor put me on a 2 week pathway has anyone else had this happen to them. I assumed the 5 week bleed was due to hormones, has anyone else experienced bleeding for 5 weeks continuously, and what was your diagnosis please. Thank you for reading,
