Hi everyone, I'm a mother of 4 and nan of 4 who is aged 44 lol.
I've been bleeding quite heavy for about ten weeks now. It does contain quite a lot of clots too. No vaginal discharge though.
I've also been suffering from constipation which is something I've always suffered from but recently it's been so bad it's resulted in piles.
I called the Dr today and he's put me in for an emergency referral to the local women's hospital, in his words "to rule out the big C".
I have also been suffering from a heavy feeling which I've put down to period pain but obviously that's because I have been on my period for a while so period pain is surely to be expected.
I've been reading up on cervical cancer and tbh it's all just so frightening. I've just read a website saying that if your first symptom is heavy, persistent bleeding then it's already to late for treatment?!
I was due my smear test in Feb this year but it had to be put back due to my surgery concentrating on covid vaccinations. They called my end of March to book but I told them I was on my period and they said book it when you come off but I haven't stopped bleeding since.
Any help, advice or knowledge would be much appreciated as I'm worrying myself sick.
Tyia x
