Title: Spotting and worried
Post by: veronica on August 08, 2013, 09:10:13 PM

Hi just wondering if it is common to spot, I had my last period in August last year and in March I started to get pain in my rt side and after a while it felt like period pain as well. The pain went for a while but came back in June and in July I started to spot the pain in quite bad now and I have to take pain relief. I am a little worried and would like to know if anyone else has experienced anything like this. I am in an early change I am 46.

Hi Veronica - spotting is very common in peri meno but as you are experiencing pain and this pain is getting worse I think you should make an appointment to see your GP just to rule out any problems such as ovarian cysts. Is the pain over the ovary area?

Thanks for your reply,

yes the pain is over my right ovary mainly but I also have period like pain all over.

Best checked out. I suffered ovarian pain just over 10 years ago. Was put on strong painkillers, but that was merely masking the problem. After hospital referral, surgeon suggested removal. Turned out I had adhesions & cysts.

I would agree with cubagirl and you should get this checked out especially if the pain is getting worse. Make an appointment and let us know how you get on.
