You could try 111, I have not found them particularly useful, as they tend to use a script, but it's a starting point.

Definitely phone GP for appointment. Expect to see gynaecologist within a couple of weeks.

Thank you I am now a tad concerned!

waterboatman

You should be. It's serious.

rowanwitch

Concerned is fine...

As you will see lots of things that are benign but problematic... Cancer is a very long way down the list. I did gynae nursing for a while, polyps and hyperplasia were the most common by far. Had hyperplasia myself, it became really draining bleeding so heavily at random times.

I can understand that, but until you get a professional diagnosis, you will not know what's happening, but nothing you can do till tomorrow. Does your surgery have a practice nurse that you could see, they often have shorter waiting lists. Our Surgery always leaves a couple of appointment slots open each day, so they can see people the same day if needed.

Rowan, is it normal to go post menopausal in one year with no symptoms? My blood tests last year showed normal healthy hormones and this year they show post levels?
Will phone the drs tomorrow but with covid19 I’m not expecting to see anyone soon.
Thanks everyone

When I dropped my partners script in at Doctors, the surgery was shut, but no notices. All you can do Martin is ring and see what message is.

Hi, I’ve got the same prob. Went to see nurse at my surgery. She gave me an internal exam & referred me to gynaecologist. Had app within a week ( 3 weeks ago ). Had a scan, hysteroscopy ( sp ) & a biopsy. Scan & hysteroscopy showed no probs - just awaiting biopsy result. Hysteroscopy was extremely uncomfortable btw. Happy for you to message me if you need any further advice.
Hope you’re ok x
