Post menopausal blood spotting / Vagifem
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has been through the symptoms I've been having and had a clear biopsy result or not ?
i have not had periods for over 3 years and a few weeks ago had probs with my bowels and some bleeding which was from a fissure... which seems to have healed, I still have problems though and went to see the doc, I jokingly said that my vagina was now competing by my wiping bright red blood there too and he reacted quickly saying that should not happen, examined me and sent me to see gynaecologist. He did a vaginal scan and then a hysteroscopy and removed a tiny polyp. The biopsy has been sent off and it's now been a week.
im still wiping a bit of fresh red blood a couple of times a day and have a pinky or light brown bit of discharge. I'm now noticing a bit of a whiff (and I'm a very clean person ! and not having sex at all) think perhaps I may have a little infection starting, from the messing around up there and removal of the polyp.
i was on Vagifem pessaries (twice weekly) I stopped them myself when I was waiting to see gynea.. he said to start them again whilst waiting for biopsy results... I put one up after not having blood for two days but then it came back, so I've made the decision myself to not put any more up... trouble is, I'm now thinking he could've wanted me to use them to protect against possible infection.... so maybe it's my fault stopping them and I should use them again... I'm feeling drier and a little sore already (as I did all the time before Vagifem)
anyone else had anything similar ?
be very grateful to know....
will also post biopsy results incase that helps anyone else out there later on too...
JUST BEEN told have to wait up to SIX WEEKS for biopsy results as labs SO busy !!!
AND found out Ive got an infection from having internal and polyp cut off in the chair in room where not sterile etc. So now on v. strong anti biotics - hey ho !!!
Hope to hear from anyone similar ?
