Is this peri w/endometriosis? Turning 49 this month. No period for 4 months then bleeding heavily for 30 days, not spotting, but bleeding. Both legs feel like flu aching, like when period began as a teen. Endometriosis history. Did not have a cycle for 4 months. Bled rectally, kind of a lot of blood and dr did exam and said had a hemorrhoid at entry of rectum. Said could be diverticulitis. Gave antibiotic. A few days after on antibiotic, began bleeding vaginally, after no period for 4 mths. Ultrasound over a few days showed wall thickened from 11 to 14 in one week in from 2nd week to 3rd week of bleeding.. Appeared no more bowel blood after vaginal bleeding began. Saline ultrasound showed no polyps or fibroids. Biopsy completed 5 days ago. Colonoscopy scheduled in 4 days. Dr recommended hysterectomy and preferred having colonoscopy done before in case endometriosis encroached. Nurse said colonoscopy is needed bc heavy bleeding 30 days is not normal. I've read on here some people do have it for a long time after not having a period. Period history, heavy and painful periods. Always on time and no breakthrough until last couple of years and dr said it was normal to expect spotting in cycle approaching Menopause . One year ago, I was bleeding some during pap and it came back abnormal and biopsy then showed clear. HPV was done and it was negative also. Could antibiotic have triggered hormones or something to trigger shedding of uterine lining? Anyone have endometriosis during peri with heavy long bleeding? Anyone have leg pain during Peri or Peri and Endometriosis? Please anyone having peri issues like me?
Did they give you a pap smear to check and make sure your bleeding was coming from the uterus ? The reason I ask is I have diverticulitis and the ER doctor told me if I started bleeding from vagina to come back in because YOU can bleed from your virginal and not be period or hormone related . I had to be check before when I started bleeding after almost two years with no period she said she needed to check to make sure the bleeding was from uterus, I didn’t know you can bleed through the virginal area and it not be period or hormone related that it can actually be from our insides not female related.
WHAT? Oh my word I did not know it was possible to have diverticulitis and bleed vaginally!!!My dr. did do vaginal ultrasound and took biopsy so I’m guessing he could see me bleeding, they were concerned about the bleeding amount and prolonging. I’ve stopped bleeding after a month of bleeding. When the ER dr told you bleeding can happen vaginally with Diverticulitis, had you or did you bleed vaginally?
I never knew it either VSF until the doctor in ER told me ! No I did not bleed vaginally from my diverticulitis, they just told me if it happens to get back to ER right away. Also you can bleed from the virginal and it be coming from your insides and not female related , apparently thats why a woman that bleeds abnormally like meno or whatever reason should always get checked that its coming from the uterus and not from some place else. I was as shocked as you and scared something horrible all the time I was on the antibiotics for diverticulitis and not only then but even now!
