Hi, hope you have found out the cause of this, I had the same thing and turned out I had a polyp on cervix, after treatment the bleeding stopped 

Hello I went for a smear on Friday which was well overdue, they found what she thought was pollops or vaginal erosion and sent me on a 2 week referral, I'm worried sick, I've just strained to have a bowel movement and have had bleeding from the vagina, I've had stomach ache like a period pain, I have gone through my menopause, I'm so worried I can't eat or sleep 

Hi Murraymints40. Just reading your post as I have been in a similar boat. Heavy periods for a year and since April constant spotting. Not sure if bowl movements / sex cause it because it’s constant now. I had a clear smear in Nov 22, clear bloods last June and a clear ultrasound in feb this year. I had a colposcopy last week and they took a biopsy as there were visible cell changes on my cervix. Absolutely terrified as I’ve never missed a smear and never had anything show up now facing the idea of further treatment. Just sending positive thoughts to you as you wait your appointment…

Thank you. It''s horrible the wait. I'm sending u positive thoughts too! I've never missed a smear either always been good with that. Did u have the hvp virus as that's what came back on my smear? 

No I had nothing show on my smear at all it came back clear. So I was really alarmed when the GP said she could see “redness” on my cervix. The colposcopy clinic didn’t mention ectropion but took a biopsy of the “cells” and told me to wait for the results. The waiting is crippling, I have diagnosed myself with all sorts. I can’t see how I can have had a clear smear 7 months ago and now have all these issues. My GP put the fear of god into me when she told me abnormal cells take 5 years to develop into cancer, me previous smear was 2018 then I had to wait until November 22 due to the covid backlog. She said smears aren’t 100% all the time so if my November 22 smear missed something then we are 5 years on from my previous clear test….

Hello, ah the waiting is the worst part. When I had a swab the nurse noted it looked like I had ectropion cervix too and then the doctor said that can be normal and nothing to worry about. Of course I googled as soon as I got home and that did say can cause spotting too. I’m waiting for an ultrasound on my womb and to meet with the gynaecologist. I’ve suffered horrendous periods from the get go, have a bicornuate womb and it took me years to conceive so I’ve always known I’ve got a few issues in that department but always worrying not knowing :( 

sending positivity to you both!! X

Hi Charlotte :) I a have been having the same issue for a couple months now. Im really stressed out. Did you ever find out what it was ? 

Hi Hayleigh

I have been having the same issue for a couple months now and its worrying me

30 y/o, smear test, blood test, hormone levels, and ultrasound all fine but my symptoms have been worrying me;

All of a sudden since January; very dark clotty periods, red or dark blood discharge 4ish days before my period typically with going to the bathroom. 

Did you ever find out what the cause was for your symptoms? 

Im trying to get a referral to see a gynecologist.

thanks!

Hi I just wondered how you were getting on? Did you get your results? I have similar problems and had a hysteroscopy, waiting for results atm! I hope you’re ok.

Hi how are you now? Your symptoms were like mine and just wondering how you got on? I hope you’re better!?

Hello, I’m not sure if anyone’s active on this. I’m 23 had a baby 2 years ago, natural birth no complications. I have bled from my front bum for a while after having bowel movements, I didn’t think anything of it to begin with I just thought it was from squeezing while doing the toilet. But it’s happened a lot now. The blood is fresh, and disappears after. I have only looked online as my friends have started worrying about it saying I should phone the doctor. I’m now in an utter panic reading some of these posts, I may also ask that when I was pregnant everytime after I would do a pee in the morning I would have a sore stomach, that has never left even after having my baby, mostly every single morning my stomach is sore from doing my first pee, the doctors have never picked up on it or thought it was abnormal, has anyone else experienced this along with the bleeding with the bowl movements? Thank you. I am phoning the doctor first thing in the morning 

Hi, same here. I’m booked in for a D&C on Friday after discovering a thickening of the wall of my uterus. I’ve been bleeding on and off 4 years after menopause. I’m terrified but trying not to worry until I have to. Haha, easier said than done. Good luck to all of us xx
