Hi, I am 58 and have not had a period for about 4 years. I have been on everol patches for the last 3 years.
I have recently had some pain down below with itching. GP examined me and said that it looked normal but that i had a dry patch on one side. She prescribed ovestin cream about a month ago. It has not made much difference and area is still sore and itchy.
However for the past week i have had what looks like a light period. I have to use a sanitary pad, it is quite heavy and dark brown in colour.
My question is : has anyone else experienced this ? should i go to DR right away or wait to see if it clears up - i am actually reluctant to see my gp as i have been there a lot recently.
I also have constant reflux and i am waiting on an endoscopy and i have unintentional weight loss of over a stone in past six months. My GP was a bit short with me and said that i was low priority for endoscopy because i am low risk i.e i am not over weight, do not smoke or drink alcohol.
However I am worried about the bleeding but also worried about wasting my Dr's time.
what do you think ?
