Menopause :: Clear / Pinkish Discharge After 4 Years - Gayne Tests Under Anaesthetic?

Mar 19, 2015

I am now, however, shaking like a leaf because I have just been to see my GP - expecting him to reassure me also that it's nothing to worry about at this stage - and he looked extremely worried and has referred me to a gynae, saying that it will need looking into within the next two weeks.

In short: I hadn't had a period since 28th June 2011 until about 3-4 weeks ago when I had the preamble - clear discharge followed a few days later by sore breasts, followed a week later by a couple days of very slight pinkish bleeding. Before the one in 2011, I hadn't had a period for a year. Before which time, they had been extremely heavy for a few years.

What has freaked me out is that the doctor seemed to think this was very urgent, and says "in these cases" they would want to see me within two weeks. He is referring me today to the gynae and says that they may want to have me into hospital to do tests under anaesthetic!

I asked him if this would be general or local, and he said I would need to discuss this with the gynae.

I am almost in tears :''( I am terrified. I have never in my life spent time in hospital and I have never before had a general anaesthetic and am terrified of this. When I was 8, I had a lot of teeth out under gas and ever since I am terrified of being put to sleep.

Does anyone have any experiences of gynae involvement and what tests they might do, and how invasive they are? both in terms of literally invasive and of types of anaesthetic that can be used.

I do know/feel sure that I have fibroids but have never actually had this diagnosed, because of the same fear of hospital procedures - as soon as I knew that it would involve putting on a hospital gown and being poked around in some way, I didn't pursue investigating this via the doctor.

Another thing I haven't yet mentioned on this forum - and had to mention to the doctor, which might be why he freaked out and treated this so severely - is that I have never in my life had a successful smear test. Every time they attempted one on me, years ago, I would tense completely and seize up (it's psychological, not physical) and they were unable to get deep enough to get a good scraping. The only time they managed to get any scraping, they came back to me with the result that it wasn't enough sample to get a good testing and they would need to repeat the smear test. And I bottled out of course at that point, having pushed myself beyond my limit to try to relax enough for them to get that sample. It was like I had made my supreme effort and it still wasn't enough...

The doctor today said that in view of this history of being unable to relax in order to have a successful smear test, this is why he is referring me forthwith to the gynae and why he said they might recommend going into hospital and having anaesthetic!

I had hoped that he might have a better solution as to how I could be relaxed enough for them to do a smear, but such a solution was not forthcoming today.

I don't know what to do because I simply cannot bottle out this time, as he seemed to think it was urgent as it might possibly be serious (he said it "might be a problem with the cervix" but I can't explain how terrified I am about the hospital involvement of this.

I don't have any option but to go ahead and see this gynae. But does anyone have similar experiences who can tell me more of what I might expect to happen next? or suggest what I might ask the gynae to do or not do, in the way of tests etc?

Menopause :: Clear Jelly Type Discharge?

Yesterday and today I noticed that after I go the bathroom to wee, I noticed a clear jelly type discharge. I noticed it last month but only for a day a two and it was gone. Has anybody ever experienced this?

I actually forgot to mention it to the GYM at my appointment because I had so many other things on my mind.

Temporal Pressure Headaches, Dizzy Spells And Blocked Ears - All Tests Clear

I am a fit, healthy 28 year old guy who has spontaneously developed severe high blood pressure, temporal pressure headaches, dizzy spells and blocked ears. The symptoms vary, with acute periods lasting a couple hours and occurring on a weekly basis. Generally an acute period is characterized by severe headaches, needing to lie down, blocked ears and extreme lethargy.

I have had CT’s and MRI’s of the brain and cervical spine, PET scans, ECHO’s, a multitude of blood tests and various other tests with no abnormalities.

I gym 4 times a week, eat healthy and work as a hairdresser, so my lifestyle is pretty healthy overall.

This condition is starting to limit my lifestyle and with two years of no answers I am putting it out there for someone to recognize or provide advice about what could potentially be going on!

Menopause :: Hysteroscopy Without Anaesthetic

Over the past year I've had cervical biopsies, polyps removed and cyst drained - all fine. Due to a bout of severe bleeding after no period for a year I'm going in for a Hysteroscopy - no anaesthetic, possible localized anaesthetic. I'm terrified! I'm wondering if anyone could share tips, experiences, advice of this procedure. I don't have children so I'm worried it could be even more painful. Anxiety levels are through the roof. I should have the date of it sometime in the next few days.

Lupus :: Lupus And Vasculitis Tests Clear-MRI To Rule Out IBC-explanations Needed

I've had odd symptoms for many stinging pains, muscle twitching rashes, pancreatitis that is chronic but clear via scans.

Well, almost 3 weeks ago, a large red mark appeared on left breast. I've been going back and forth to doctor as I've wanted to rule out inflammatory breast cancer-it presents with redness etc but no lesions, hard to diagnose. Today when I went back, the doctor felt nodes under my armpit, confirmed during ultrasound, but said they looked benign and small. He said actually it could pop up from autoimmune. He did admit it was odd. It was on the same side as affected breast and not the other. I'm going to get an MRI of my breast as IBC doesn't show on mammogram or ultrasound often.

I've had swollen nodes in the past. I noticed a few times on my jaw line.

I haven't been diagnosed with lupus, tests many years ago were totally clear as were vasculitits tests. But curious if anyone has had nodes on one part of the body pop up. Im praying its not IBC. I'd much rather it be something else. IBC is the most aggressive form of BC and spreads in a matter of weeks, so grasping for other explanations

Breasts :: Clear Discharge, Pain Travels Between Breast And Arm Pit

I have been having pain in my right breast for about six weeks now. The pain travels between the arm pit and breast, but is mainly a stabbing pain on the top of my right breast. When i just lightly squeeze my nipple it has clear discharge coming from it and can actually decrease the pain in my breast for a short time. I do get a stabbing pain in my left breast now and again but no discharge. Pain in the right breast can last a few hours at a time,or constantly on

certain days. It does feel a bit lumpy but i don't know the difference between a possible cancer lump or normal one. I hope i can get an answer or possibility of what is happening with me. I am 40years old, i had my only child 22years ago, i also had a mammogram and ultrasound and had one lump just outside of my right breast under my armpit taken a sample of, when i was 38 years old but everything was normal. Hope someone can help me.

Cystitis :: Frequent Urination - Urine Was Pinkish

I have been experiencing frequent urge to urinate for the past 2 weeks. At first it was just annoying, I haven't experienced pain or anything so I thought it was just because of drinking plenty of water. But then, even when I didn't drink much I had the urge to go to the bathroom every one hour and I started to wake up at least once at night with the urge to urinate even when it was for very small amount of urine. For two days the colour of my urine was pinkish and I felt discomfort and pressure on my lower back. Now the colour of the urine changed to pale yellow and I feel some weird vibration in my lower back. Anyone has any idea of what this can be? I have read about UTIs but can this be UTI if I don't feel pain or burning sensation while urinating? I am just back from vacation in a foreign country and I can't see my doctor until after 3 days.. But I am starting to get concerned since it is lasting very long... I was just wondering what this can be and if it is something to worry about? Will be very grateful for comments and informations!

Menopause :: 58 Years But Ovarian Pain And Bleeding?

I am 58 years old and very late going through menopause. I still have had a very light period about once every 10 months, so not the true 12 months to be considered through menopause.

A day or two ago I had some very light spotting. Thankfully wore a pantishield. Last night without warning or feeling, I had a burst of blood that filled the pantishield along with some pain by my right ovary. That was the end of the blood, just a very little light spotting today.

Back On Norethisterone After 4 Years - Awaiting Menopause

Well here I am back on Norethisterone again after a 4 year break. I didn't want to take them again because I put a lot of weight on but it is necessary because I can't stop bleeding. The distress of constant bleeding which in itself causes anxiety, the tiredness and not been able to go out. Sometimes you have to give in, get yourself right to start again.Unfortunately there seems to be nothing else. Apparently at 53 I am too old to have a Hysterectomy so I am anxiously awaiting menopause.
