Abnormal bleeding and discharge after BM

Hi ladies

Abit of background as I have started to worry a little.

I'm 33yo who is experiencing brown vaginal discharge/spotting which some times has been red and then goes back to brown for about 10 days now, it started 2 weeks after my period finished which was normal and nothing out of the ordinary. I did experience some pain on my left side before this spotting started but nothing I was concerned about. The issue I'm having now is every time I go to open my bowls I have fresh red blood when I wipe, it's definitely vaginal blood and not rectum or a fissure, i dont strain to go either. I havnt been able to see a Dr yet due to the bank holiday weekend. 

I've never had spotting before or a period come early, I'm upto date with my PAP smear and my last one was about 1 1/2 years ago, which came back normal. Sex can be sometimes painful for me but not always. I did a pregnancy test to rule that out, not on birth control. I was wondering if anyone has been through the same? It will no doubt be a few days until I can see a Dr as tomorrow they will be in high demand. 

Stupidly I googled my symptoms (rookie mistake) and started to worry abit more x

  • Hi,

    I haven't had it when going to the toilet but I'm also having spotting and bleeding and pain in my lower back/hip. Smear test a few weeks ago was HPV negative but I'm still concerned. 

    Waiting for a scan but I'm told there's a 12 week wait :( 

    I would suggest trying to get an appointment with the GP or practice nurse, they may well do another smear or at least examine you. Hope you get some answers. X
