Q: Vaginal bleeding and clotting after menopause

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 31st, 2009

I have been forced to use depends over the last 6 weeks or so because I have no control over my urination. I am having full urination without any indication that I need to go. I have been having pain in the bladder area and also in the abdomen and lower back. The main gets so bad sometimes that it makes me very nauseated. I have a history of lymphoma and have had my thyroid removed and come back as cancerous. I also have a hernia in the lower part of my stomach which can not be operated on due to my three blocked arteries. I wonder could this be pressing on the bladder? As of today I have started to have blood appear and I have not had a period for many years. I would really appreciate help in what direction I should be going as far as urinary or gynecology and would appreciate any suggestions of what could be going on. This has been extremely upsetting, frustrating and uncomfortable. Thank you.

Vaginal bleeding and clotting after menopause is always considered a serious sign and needs further investigation. You might want to visit your gynecologist.

As for the urge to urinate, you might be experiencing urinary incontinence. There are several pathological causes for urinary incontinence, including: urine infection, diabetes, neural issues.

You might want to consult with your gynecologist about this, too or you can schedule a visit with a urologist,
