Me again......I'm 61 and have been on Hrt for approximately 8 years. I've tried many kinds over the years but eventually settled on Femseven Conti patches which I used quite happily for a few years and then couldn't get hold of them anymore! I now take Evorell Conti patches but only change the patch once a week as opposed to twice. This is in the agreement with the Menopause Clinic.
I've just returned from holiday and whilst away I started experiencing a sharp, stabbing kind of pain which shot up the right side of my vagina. It's happened a few times over the course of around three days and at the same time I noticed I had very sore boobs. I thought I may be having a breakthrough bleed (I've had many in the past and have been extensively investigated), but I've never had this rather painful stabbing pain in my vagina. Anyway true to form the next day I had a very light brown discharge (hardly anything at all) this lasted about three days and then back to normal.
Now I have a strange dull ache in the region of my lower, right groin around the ovary area. I had a large ovarian cyst removed when I was 25 which badly damaged the ovary but no real problems since and I've never been told I have fibroids. I know I need a Gp appointment but any ideas in the meantime please, as my anxiety and imagination is through the roof at the moment!
