Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and find myself here after a very worrying week. I am 54 and approximately three years post menopause. I went through a very trouble-free menopause after having very frequent and heavy periods throughout my period menopause. Since the menopause I have had absolutely no Issues whatsoever. Prior to my period I would always get acid reflux symptoms, sore breasts, needing to use the toilet for number two a lot more frequently and general anxiety and emotional ups and downs. Approximately two weeks ago I experienced all of these things which came as a ball out of the blue only to wake up Wednesday morning to a period.
it started off very lightly and then went to a full blown period quite heavy just like it did prior to the menopause. Once the bleeding started all of my pre-menstrual symptoms stopped apart from the usual dragging feeling and cramp like stomach aches. I have been referred on a two week wait to Gynae but I’m literally beside myself with worry. Has anybody else experienced this bowl out of the blue without it being anything serious. Many people including health professionals where I work have said because of all the accompanying symptoms it does really sound like a period but every time I google this every article suggest this is not possible!
