Hi, Can I ask a few more questions about the history of your menopause?

What colour is the vaginal spotting? How extensive is it? eg just odd spot or enough for a sanitary pad?

When was your last 'normal' menstrual bleed? How has your cycle changed over the last few years?

Do you take any HRT/ herbal supplements for menopause?

Do you have any other symptoms at the moment eg mood swings, hot flushes, abdominal pain etc?

How is your general health recently?

Thanks.

I will be on and off the computer tonight so I will get back to you.

Thanks

Reply to Pauline's Post: periods are off & on for a 50 year old. Can have a period 1 month then skip the next month. Has been like this for a year or so. The spotting is just that (need panty liner for it) have douched and more "old blood" comes out. It smells just like that "old blood" After douching the blood is gone for 1 day then it builds up again.
