Post Menopausal Bleeding

Hi

Last night (Friday) I had some light brown discharge.  There is also slightly brighter brown/red when I insert my finger into my vagina (apologies if TMI!) but no further discharge as yet.  I’m 55 years old and it’s been over 3 years since my last period.  I’m terrified it’s cancer.  I spoke to the 111 service and she recommended I get a BV test kit, which indicated trichomoniasis which as I’ve not been sexually active suggests it’s not the most accurate result.  I will phone my GP on Monday but I’m already seeing a psychologist for health anxiety so this is my nightmare come true.

I live on my own, I don’t have anyone I can talk to (friends were never really my thing!) and my family have passed away over the last few years so I’m very isolated.  I just thought it might be helpful to reach out via this forum for connection.

Thank you for reading this.

  • Very pleased they reinstated the thread - I got confused!


    I’m so pleased that you’ve both managed to have a well deserved break - Norfolk is beautiful and I find the countryside so healing.  Your recovery Dollysocks has been so impressive and not due to luck - you have shown great strength to get through this.

    Any news re your biopsy results Cat-Cat - I’m thinking you’re nearly at the 4 week mark?

    My offer was accepted, which is brilliant.  This will be a massive move for me - from Cornwall to Yorkshire on my own but I think it’s the right thing for me.  Although I’m a tad apprehensive! xx
