My mum is 70 years old and has noticed vaginal bleeding the last few weeks. She has had a prolapse for years. She regularly gets smears. The last one was fine it was two years ago. She doesn t have any abdo pain. Has been to dr awaiting pelvic scan and results from swabs. I m very worried if it s cancer. There isn t any history of uterine cancer in family and she has done a lot of physical work lately on a house. Please help
Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor In postmenopausal whenever bleeding occurs, you are right cancer should be evaluated But let me know you for that first pelvic USG examination needs to be done... Then endometrial curettage and histopathology examination or pap Smear like investigation done..... Bleeding might be associated with uterine prolapse as well... For that surgical management can be done. Hence, evaluate your mother bleeding by nearby gynecologist and discuss your case Hope your concern solved
