Hello
I’m 47 and peri symptoms started 18 months ago. First of all periods stopped and since a D&C in December I’m bleeding on and off. Do any of you ladies bleed when doing exercise like speed walking or jogging?

Dear Zoey
I did read a post on here some time ago where a lady bled after running, I dont run but when I was in peri I would get a bit of bleed after swimming x
Thank you for writing to me. I’ve read about it on other forums but no one else on here has commented, other than what you mention. Doing exercise can affect heavy build up in uterine lining. I guess you experienced the same. Are you past peri now?
Dear Zoey
Yes I am past peri, I am three years post meno now, unfortunately I had other symptoms too but thankfully most came and went! I think any change can be daunting and there's no written rule we will all get the same symptoms. My periods started to change too in peri where I seemed to have endless spotting, it was almost like I was forever having a period which was unsettling. I remember being abit worried after swimming getting the bleed but im sure it is all part of peri/meno. For peace of mind I had a transvaginal ultrasound when I was spotting alot in peri but all seemed OK apart from some simple cysts on ovaries. All these changes can bring on health anxiety which is common too, I suffered with that Aswell. Thankfully things seemed to have calmed down x
