Hi
I am waiting for hysteroscopy and biopsy next week after some post menopausal spotting.
I have a constant nagging period type pain which can be severe at times. Also my tummy is so bloated especially in the evenings.
I am wondered if others had the pain and bloating
Hi,
I noticed some bloating, but it wasn't until after I had a diagnosis. My tummy felt tight at times, a bit uncomfortable but not painful.

I have been bloated for two years and literally just figured out, thanks to your post, that’s it’s probably the cancer. I’m very overweight so I just thought it was that. I mean, it might be, but I’ve been at this weight for a while but the bloating is more recent.
Hello there. I didn’t have bloating but I did have really bad pain, like early labour pain. I used to have to go to bed and sleep. I had a hysterectomy and am currently in remission. The pain evaporated after surgery. I really hope you have a good outcome after treatment.
That is exactly what I am experiencing. GP has given me some pain relief
Hi Georgiegirl72
I didn't notice any bloating before my hysterectomy but I had one episode of severe, low down period-like pain together with a really heavy bleed which prompted my initial GP visit that started me on this path.

I am not in menopause stage as I am 28 years old. I did not have bloating but I had severe pain and cramps. That's when I thought that this is not normal and I went to see a doctor and got the worst news of my life.
