Post Menopausal Bleed

Offline Polly4 over 5 years ago

I contacted doctor 5 weeks ago with problem of urgency to urinate many times pain in back and tummy. Put on antibiotics for urine infection. Last week started to bleed/have a period after not having a period for 1 year also urinating problem continues. Have spoken and seen doctor last week. Was surprised I have to go on a 2 weeks cancer check. Doctor did not actually tell me/discuss this with me just got a letter sent on my phone so was shocked/surprised at this action. Anyway have been reasurred looking on here that post menopausal bleeds are common. I have been told I will have a scan and a chat with a consultant I know I have fibroids is there anything else that may happen? I am 57

Hi
Do you think it could be a coincidence you got both around the same time?
A water infection and then the post menopausal bleed.
It's good you're on the 2 week wait.
Post menopausal bleeds are very common but have to be checked under the 2 weeks just in case it is something.
I had biopsies taken and camera to look around the womb under GA.
All turned out fine. Good luck hope you get sorted soon.

Thank you for your reply. Probably not a coincidence as I suspected a urine infection at Easter and spoke to doctor who gave me antibiotics that time. Symtoms of needing to go to the toilet often, pain, did not change so when I had a large blood loss out of the blue it made me contact the doctor again he did run a urine test and no infection has been found but symtoms remain. I was up 5 times last night going to the toilet so losing sleep feeling very tired. No Appointments yet.

I had noticed just before, my hot flushes had stopped.
Then it was just like a normal period.
And nothing since.
