Abnormal Bleeding

"Abnormal Bleeding"

About: Leicester Royal Infirmary

I am so appalled with this hospital.. I was referred to the gynaecology clinic as an emergency appointment by the walk in centre as I was bleeding heavily all of a sudden 12 days after finishing my menstrual cycle. This has never happened to me before and was totally out of normality for me. I am so upset/scared all I was told is go home and let it stop naturally as its nothing. I have no answers as to what’s the cause or why? How to stop it? Is it cancer as I have a family history of cervical cancer? Absolutely nothing other than I can hear staff saying why was I referred to gynaecology? I should carry on bleeding for 3 months and then contact them. I am absolutely terrified and will hope to go privately to see the cause of my issue and also get a cervical screen done as this hospital wasn’t able to guide me any further.
