NICE guidelines state that
"Urgent referral:
Urgently refer women (appointment within
two weeks) if they are:
• Aged 55 and over with:
– Post-menopausal bleeding (unexplained
vaginal bleeding more than 12 months
after menstruation has stopped due to
the menopause).
Consider urgent referral (appointment within two
weeks) if they are:
• Aged under 55 with:
– Post-menopausal bleeding."
It's just standard procedure Mojo so try not to worry. The standard letter will go out to all age groups I expect so it reminds younger people that they have a right to be seen within two weeks if any of their symptoms are considered to be a possible cancer. In post menopausal women they always have to be seen within two weeks if they present with post menopausal bleeding.
