Menopause 61 With Prolapsed Uterus And Spotting
Aug 22, 2013
I am 61 yrs. old and have had a prolapsed uterus for two yrs. now. I had to put off getting anything done with it because of serious back problems that turned into four huge surgeries(sagittal imbalance) I was bent over at a 45 degree angle for two yrs. anyway, all this time my uterus kept getting worse and now I am in recovery from my fourth back surgery and I noticed blood in my underwear. I think it's coming from the uterus, that is now protruding almost all the way out. I have to push it back inside . I so have an appt. with a urogynecologist Oct.14th. But until then just wondering if anyone had any insight on this. Of Course I am through menopause. I haven't seen any blood for about a week now. But I have a bad discharge(yellowish color). That's been going on for around three weeks, I have had several UTI's in the past six mo. I just know that my cousin had uterus cancer and her first symptoms was one little drop of blood. So I am a little scared about the blood. (Or spotting).

I have noticed a 'bulge' in my lower region, made an appointment with the gp who was very unsympathetic, she told me i was really at the wrong place (possibly because i made an emergency appointment?) wasn't sure what else to do, she asked me if i wanted her to examine me? to which i replied yes, when she did it hurt very much even after having children, she said i had a prolapsed uterus but to do some pelvic floor exercises, as a gynae would say the same and to go back in 4 weeks, she made it seem like it's very mild, it is however lying along the floor of my vagina (is the only way to describe it) there is also some of it bulging out, i can feel my coil strings when i wipe. I feel like i have just 'been left' and am very distressed about the whole thing. i can't see that pve would help when it seems my muscles must have already gone? Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Had the copper iud inserted on the 12th, and could not cope so had it removed earlier today.
It was a little unpleasant but not unbearable and had a tiny bit of spotting since, but i have the odd twinge and a dull ache in my left side of my uterus, is the only way i can explain it.
is this normal?
cramps have stopped just got the dull ache almost in my left side of my uterus and my left ovary.

I had sex unprotected (pulled out) Dec 19th and again Jan 1st protected ( however I did bleed a lot which I didn't notice til afterwards but I'm sure its because my partner was well endowed and we skipped foreplay). Since then I've had 2 regular periods. I noticed the pink spotting once sometime before the first period in January it was off and on for 2 days and only noticed the pinkish red when I wiped. I had my period for February as well and sometime maybe a week or so before that I again had pink spotting only for a day or so. Now my period is due in 2 weeks and I again have had the pink spotting once earlier last week and again today. All this hasn't happened before.
Could it be infection I haven't had any discomfort whatsoever other than last month I had a slight itch that went away after 3 days using an apple cider vinegar rinse.

Worried. Going in next week for D&C and hysteroscopy. (Whatever that is)
Had a biopsy 2 years ago and came out ok. I am 60 years old with prolapse
level 3 cystocele. Was getting bladder infections every 3 months and seems like I was always on antibiotics which I am starting to get immune to. Not sure if I should be getting a D&C or just another biopsy. No bleeding at all. Also they are giving me General ANESthesia which don't know if this is the right choice. Also how long do you need to stay home after before returning to work? REally appreciate your help. Scared!!! May need repair lift or hysterectomy. Not sure which one or if should take out ovaries of leave in and just do lift. Just don't know what to do. Don't like pessaries

Does anyone know if a thick endometrial wall can thin out even if you don't get any bleeding? Like a mentioned in a past post, my endometrium thickness is 15mm, it's been almost a month since it was last seen on the US. Is it possible it could have shrunk?

I had a pelvic ultrasound and was found to be abnormal, it measured 23mm thick made appt with obgyn. I'm worried about cancer as my sister had it before. I am 53 years of age and have heavy bleeding all the time. Should I have much to worry about?

I'm 55 and have been officially in menopause for about 4 years. My only difficulty has been severe vaginal dryness and atrophy (ugh, what a repellent word. Imagine if men referred to their penises as "Atrophic?").
I tried ignoring it. Tried some natural lubrications but those only worked at "the outer edges" (ahem) of the problem. I eat a very healthy diet, exercise, blah, blah, blah. In other words, I try. I really do.
So dutifully I tried Estrace cream: 4 grams a nite for 2 weeks. Then 2 grams a nite for 2 weeks. Then I was supposed to use it 2 times a week.
I had just arrived at the 2x a week when voila: spotting. It was just some pink (not much) when I wiped after peeing. Oh, at and the start just 1 suspicious itty bitty teeny tiny drop of blood, bright and alarmingly red.
Although the vaginal dryness was much improved, my breasts were swollen and tender (as if premenstrual) and I felt crampy and uncharacteristically irritable.
So, off to the gyno. Who today did a sonogram. Says my endometrium lining is "a bit thick" and next I must have an endometrial biopsy.
Have had 3 of them during the perimeno years when I was having random periods. And it really hurts. Now, with the atrophy and dryness, I'm terrified of the procedure.
And even more terrified of the possible results.
Has anyone out there ever had spotting on Estrace?
If so, when you stopped using it did it go away?
I avoid medication anytime humanly possible. Never much even bother to take aspirin for a headache. I'm very "natural" and prefer to keep it that way. But I did the Estrace because I was so miserable and my quality of life was diminished. Sex became out of the question, libido was gone and all I anticipated from a part of my body that I'd always delighted in....was pain. So I went against my own usual style and gave the Estrace a shot.
Now I'm frightened and anxious and wondering if any of you out there have been thru anything similar; and if so, what happened?

I am 51 and have this spotting which can go on and off for a few weeks, it happened in December and seem to right itself for a couple of months and then went six weeks before next period. I had ovaries removed two weeks ago due to family history. I have had a few vaginal ultrasounds running up to this and smear and uterus biopsy quite recently which were fine. The spotting is still here after operation, i know that some bleeding is expected after op. I still have uterus and believe the lack of hormones now may have unsettled it abit. Went to doctor, she wasn't that helpful but said would contact gynaecologist. I felt really well after op but this spotting is getting me down, i keep thinking has my smear given a false negative as i believe that can happen. I have just got over a stomach issue with peri and was hoping to get through it without any more worries.

I am 47 ( just turned) and believe I am in perimenopause. My mom went through menopause in her early 40's with little to no symptoms ( that she can remember anyway lol).
I have the anxiety, depression, loss of libido, interrupted sleep and ever changing periods - sometimes light, sometimes heavy etc. I skipped my first one last month.
My spotting seems to be getting worse, it is usually brownish and occurs in the last half of my cycle. This month there was a bit of red spotting and I usually spot after sex during the last half of my cycle.
I went to the doctor and she has scheduled an ultrasound and of course I have read everything on the internet and am getting scared to death.

Since last 01 year, I am suffering from acute pain around the vagina. MRI explained that Fibroid over uterus, sigmoid colon and uterus are cohesive with each other. Doctors have different opinion. Help me to diagnose the problem and find out the actual reason of pain.

Anyone have a cystocele (prolapsed bladder) and still have intercourse? My husband passed away two years ago and I have been attracted to someone. My husband and I had no problems, but I am concerned about the size of the penis perhaps causing problems. I have had the cystocele repaired once but it occurred again. Has not caused any problems so far, however I have not had sex since my husband passed away.

I had piles during my 1st pregnancy and at the birth of my first child but they went within a week so when I got them again after the delivery of my second baby I wasn't concerned, however to cut a long story short 16 months later I have had internal, prolapsed and external piles. I've had them thrombose internally and externally and developed fissures and a Polyp. I've seen 4 different surgeons both privately and NHS and have had an Anal stretch, banding, Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy (PPH) botox injection for a fissure, a polypectomy and just last week doppler guided ligation (Halo) and skin tag removal but here I am laying in bed unable to work, look after my kids, walk or do anything. Everyone is really putting themselves out for me and my friends and family have been great but they can't go on taking time off and asking about me forever.
I still have this feeling of unbelievable fullness, burning, stinging and after the last operation it looks like I have a new inflamed external hemorrhoid. It's gone way past embarrassment for me. I need to get better because I can not live like this much longer.
I eat really well and take lactulose to keep my stools soft but i'm unable to exercise.
Im so depressed and just want to feel normal again. Go for a walk, take the kids to the park, go on holiday, find a job I can't believe all the things this horrible condition is making me miss. I feel like i've missed my baby growing up. I know how lovely it is to be a mum because I enjoyed every minute with my first baby but now i'm a different person in an awful place.

I'm here because my spotting-bleeding-spotting is confusing me. I have a regular 28 day cycle, on TTC but stopped with all the procedure couple of months ago, still tracking my fertile period.
Then this spotting started on the first day of my ovulation May 29, exactly 14 days after my 1st day period may 15. from spotting it went to slight bleeding (I thought it would stop, enough to fill a panty liner). I
t is already June 10 as I'm writing this and still spotting a little though(still have those brown discharges).
I'm expecting my period tomorrow. I wish and hope its implantation or breakthrough bleeding but I am more "worried".
AM I OK?
