Non stop bleeding/Cervix Exam

Hi

 

I've been having irregular bleeding for the last year, where I'm on my period for 6 weeks at a time and large clots, which I have mostly put down to weight/hormones and possibly having PCOS. 
 

Over the last 2 months the bleeding has been almost non stop and also after sex. Plus I've noticed some other symptoms which have made me worried. 
 

I have booked in privately to see an Gynaecologist next week, but I worried how they will review my cervix while I'm bleeding so heavily? Has anyone had anything similar and what happens at the appointments? I'm worried if they can't examine me while bleeding I could be waiting a long time and I feel in constant worry at what's wrong. 
 

Thanks xx

  • Hi Gfalc and welcome to the forum.

    Given the symptoms you've been having recently, your concerns about the examination are completely understandable but hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will share their experiences with you soon and put your mind at ease. 

    If you'd like to have a quick chat with one of our nurses about this as well then you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Fingers crossed all goes next week and you're able to find out what's going on.

    Kind regards,
