Hi there. It is exactly 3 years ago that I had a total hysterectomy including ovaries and tubes, for endometrial cancer. I am 64 years old. For the last 2 or 3 days I have been experiencing period-like pain and lower back ache. I also had a tiny pink "show" last night. Is this something I should get checked out or wait to see what happens please? Thank you.
Hi Stelliebug
I’d definitely recommend getting the pain and bleeding checked out as this is a new symptom for you. I’m assuming you are still under the care of your consultant and team? If so, give them a call to explain and they will advise if you need to be checked over. There may be a simple explanation, but it’s good to get reassurance and getting this investigated sooner rather than later.
