Hi everyone
I am really worried. I had some post menopausal bleeding on Monday. Since then, I have had cramping pains. However, last night I started having pains on the right hand side which has escalated this morning.
what symptoms did you have?
thanks
Hi Georgiegirl72
I am sorry to hear that you are having pains that have escalated and are focussing on one side.
I would suggest you give NHS111 a call today and tell them this. They may suggest that you go to an urgent care centre. They would then be able to check you over, perhaps offer pain relief and maybe do a quick ultrasound.
Whether this is connected with endometrial or ovarian cancer or something like a cyst- I do think you need to be checked. if you prefer you could give the Support Line a call first and talk it though.

Hi, another geordie girl here. I'm going through similar although I'm end of perimenopause (I'm 49) I have had constant pain for 5 weeks with days of worsening pain ,along with nausea, lack of appetite, lower back pain with a pressure feeling pain all right sided, spotting here there and everywhere (but could be perimenopause) I get pain near ribs also on right side like kidney area I have issues with bowel and bladder also. I've seen different Drs 4 times and been to walk in 3 times & they ruled out UTI,constipation,IBD & appendicitis, but yesterday I finally got listened to as the pain was horrendous, I got pain relief, a painful internal and a scan to be arranged within 72 hours. So if I were you I would definitely get checked out even if it turns out everything is OK at least you listened to your body, I have a feeling mine could be a cyst but will have to wait it is very scary though, please get checked
