Bleeding after intercourse 64 years old

I experienced the above and havent had a period since i was 50.

I was advised at that appointment to investigate the bleeding that i had a lesion on my cervix and scarring however all my smear tests have been ok.

I have now been given an appointment for a coloscopy. I am extremely worried as the the smear and blood tests have all been negative cancer cells will be the cause of the bleeding

  • Hey Taffy, 

    I'm sorry about the bleeding you've been experiencing and for the worry that this and the lesion/scarring that's been found on your cervix is causing.

    I know this must be scary, especially when you don't know why this is happening, but try not to panic or jump to any worse case scenarios if you can. Easier said then done I know but many of our members have been in similar situations where it has turned out not to be cancer.

    Hopefully some of those members will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    We're thinking of you Taffy and hope all goes well with your colposcopy.

    Kind regards,
