Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with endometrial/uterine atrophy which caused post menopausal bleeding? 

I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with this (2.2mm lining) and with an ovarian cyst.  At repeat ultrasound in July last year cyst had gone and lining was still only 2.2mm.  I am now bleeding again and GP has suggested increasing vagifem from twice a week to every day for a few weeks. I don’t know how this will help as I didn’t think it would reach the uterus? 

I have been on evorel conti hrt patches for 6 years and the GP also suggested changing this in case this was the cause of the bleeding but I don’t see why as the bleeding didn’t start until I’d been on it for just over 4 years.

Sorry for the long message!  Would be so grateful for any advice or shared experiences. 

Thank you 😊

I would ask for a referral to an NHS Menopause Clinic as there are waiting lists.

Upping the 'vagifem' isn't the usual advice unless symptoms are problematic.

How R your periods generally?

Hi there, thanks so much for your message. I don’t have periods, I haven’t for 7 years.  I’ve been on Evorel Conti for 6 years.  The symptoms do feel problematic as I shouldn’t be having bleeding/spotting on the conti especially after no periods for so long.  I’m 58 by the way 😊

Any unexplained bleeding after a break should be checked, a scan may be appropriate?

[SallyPickle]

Perhaps but I only had one 7 months ago and the scan I had 13 months before that was the same thickness and they said no issue.  It’s all very confusing 🙄
