Hi Sqad. Re my post-menopausal bleed, I had an internal scan and a camera inserted into my womb yesterday. The consultant said he couldn't see anything worrying, he detected two golf ball-sized fibroids which apparently aren't a serious problem, and the womb lining was of normal width. He did a hysteroscopy and will get the results in a couple of weeks. I can't tell you how relieved I was to hear it is almost certainly not cancer.
He said I need to go back to my GP and ask for a scan further up, as he only deals with the gynaecological area.
My pain feels like period pain, it is low in my stomach, but I also have a dull ache which goes higher up, almost up to my bust. It is on the left-hand side. Any idea at all what it might be please?
The nurse said I could take paracetamol together with Ibruprofen tablets for pain relief. Is it okay to take the maximum daily dosage of both, or should I take half the dosage of each?
Thanks very much Sqad. x

I didn't speak to a doctor (apart from the consultant) at the hospital. He told me he couldn't advise on what might be causing the pain as he was purely gynae, and said I need to go back to the GP for referral for a second scan to cover liver, bladder and I think he said stomach, although I thought the scan I had would have covered the stomach.
He did say the fibroids usually shrink as you get older. He didn't mention getting rid of them. I wonder if they are the cause of my lower pain, but the pain higher up is still a puzzle.
