Constant bleeding for over 7 months

I've recently been referred for an ultrasound as I've been bleeding vaginally for over 7 months every day. It started off as every other day but for the past 6 months has been every day. It's bright red and light bleeding but it's there's when I wee and every time I wipe and on my underwear. The GP prescribed me Norethisterone to stop the bleeding and have taken for over 24 hours and am still bleeding. I feel constantly tired and my bladder and bowel habits have changed over the past 4 months. When I first feel the need to wee I have to go straight away or I wet myself, I go 2-3 times an hour and sometimes suffer with faecal incontinence too. I've had a UTI test which was negative. My full blood count came back normal. I've been unable to have my well overdue smear due to the bleeding.

Please can anyone share their similar experience or give me some advice ?

I'm so fed up, anxious and concerned. I'm 30. Just don't get it.

  • Hello Mpop1504

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health concerns over the last few months. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. 

    It's good to hear that you've already seen your GP. Do you have a follow-up appointment arranged with them? Do get back in touch with them to let the doctor know that you are still experiencing bleeding and that things haven't improved with the medication. It may be that they decide a referral to a specialist or further tests are appropriate. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

    I hope you get some answers soon and that things begin to improve for you. 

    Best wishes,
