Hi , hoping for some advice and maybe some reassurance. I am 43 and was told at the end of last year that I had had my menopause. 2 years with no periods. Recently I had thrush which is really unusual for me as I've only had one time before in my teens. I had to treat it twice to get rid of it but now this week I've started bleeding. First little strands of bright red that look like cotton strands. But now there when I wipe. Also have some dull pain, I feel uncomfortable up inside and am also now feeling g abit of pressure on my back passage like you get when you're in labour. Apologises for such graphic description! Anyway rang docs yesterday she said urgent referral was needed. Hospital rang me this morning and I am going in on friday afternoon for a ultrasound.
I'm just wondering if this blood could bust be from my recent bout of thrush? Maybe I have a sore up there? No one has actually examined me .
Also i had cells zapped in 2010 for severe dyskaryosis. Does the fact I've previously had abnormal cells make me more likely to have cervical or some other gynae cancer in the future? My smears are up to date and next one is due in July this year.
I know I shouldn't worry because there are so many other things this abnormal bleed can be. But I'm so worried .
Thank you In advance for reading this x
Ann-Marie
