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.

  • Hi , I hope you are both doing well . 
    Good news for me - still waiting on letter . But  clinic secretary at the hospital was able to tell me that my biopsy results are reassuring and I will be discharged back to my GP !

    What a relief . Happy to continue chatting with you both as has been lovely having you both along for this health journey for us all . 

    Could perhaps post an email address , then delete the message and set up a WhatsApp group from there ?

    I have lots going on re a family bereavement , so apologies in advance if I am slow responding . xxx
