Looking for re assurance

Hello. I'm 56, no kids, in generally good nick, health wise. Periods became erratic about 4 yrs ago. Due to my age, I was expecting it, so didn't give it another thought.

I had a period in Jan 2022, and then nothing until Jan 2023, so 12 months. I then had another in May of this year, so 4 months later. I've had no other symptoms, tho some slight, white discharge, and a bit of vaginal odour  which appears to have died down.

GP has sent me for vaginal exam, which is tomorrow. I've been torturing myself looking at Google and, even tho (Google says) it's more likely to be benign than cancer, my anxiety levels have been going through the roof these last two weeks. 

Apart from telling me not to look at Google, can anyone help me get a bit of perspective?

  • Thx for response. The first exam they did showed ovaries were clear. But Dr said, when she did hysteroscopy, that she'd seen something "suspicious", and I have to go back in a week for results. I've since spoken to one of the cancer research nurses, via the helpline, who re-iterated that investigations were more often clear than not, but anxiety levels still pretty high.
