I had terrible cystitis last year but, on the recommendation of someone on the forum took some d Mannose powder for a while and, touch wood, it hasn't come back. Also the Replens seems to have sorted out the problem of needing the loo all the time. In retrospect, all the problems in that area were building up over a period of time, and were all linked to the atrophy.

Hello,
I hope everyone doesn't mind me posting on here as I'm not a grandma but my mum is and that's what my question is about.
She's 55 and has gone through the menopause. However, last week when we were on holiday, she had a bleed on one day. Prior to that she had 4 days of discharge and after she had a blood tinged greeny discharge with no odour which is still happening, though it seems to be getting less.
We got back yesterday and today she has gone to the doctor. The doctor didn't really say what it could or couldn't be but did say that it is very uncommon for post menopausal bleeding which panicked my mum.
The doctor did a smear and took swabs and said that she could see that there was blood still and she bled some more with the smear. She gets the results back in 48 hours and the smear results in a few weeks. In the meantime she will be having a scan apt date in a few weeks.
I'm riddled with anxiety as to what it could be - I've searched for ages on the internet and loads of things are coming up that it is cancer.
She has absolutely no other symptoms apart from the bleeding.
Has anyone had anything like this before? Any help or advice would be so appreciated. Thank you
