Hi, I am 50 and had my last period 18 months. 2 weeks ago I started experiencing period symptoms, sore breasts, abdominal pain and then had bleeding for 5 days, it then stopped and nothing since. I’ve googled it and scared myself. I’m about to call the doctors now but admit I have been putting it off. I’ve also been experiencing symptoms of needing to pee frequently and bowel movements have been all over the place, constipated one day then on the loose side the next day and so on. 
I’m going to stop putting it off and will call the doctors after this message but can’t stop worrying. Had abnormal cells years ago when I was in my twenties and had to have a procedure to burn them away, something that I found really painful so I have a fear of having to have anything like that again. I do however have regular smears and my last one was only a few months ago and came back normal. I also got selected to have the lovely poo sample tested and posted. That was also normal. I think I will be fine and it’s nothing to worry about however fear is niggling at the back of my mind. Anyone else had similar issues?
