Post Menopausal Bleeding

Wiseowl1

I am 65 and had an early menopause at about 45. I have had 3 episodes of some post menopausal bleeding over the last 2 months. It’s been very light, and just been a one off thing each time. I have a cervical smear test booked for the week after next . I’m wondering if I should chat to my GP before that though? Also I feel bloated, but I’m not sure if that’s just psychological!

    Please go back to the gp and insist on a hysteroscopy; I’d had on/off spotting for a few months, then I started bleeding. Saw the nurse on Saturday for the hysteroscopy and she said there was clear cancer. Waiting for MRI now to see if it’s spread. Don’t mind admitting that I’m scared. I’m 60. Not ready to die yet and my daughters aren’t old enough to,go,through this.

    You won’t die. I was diagnosed with womb cancer in April and managed to stay positive throughout. I have had robotic surgery but feeling ok. I will have radiation for 4 sessions starting next week. I’ve been told by a private doctor and NHS doctor that if you are going to get cancer, womb cancer is the better type to get and is very treatable. Good luck with everything. Wishing you well.
