Have Heavy Feeling In Vagina, No Periods For Three Years, Feel Sore, Little Blood Found When Wiped

I am 52 years old and have not had a period for more than 3 years. I am experiencing a heavy feeling n my vagina. On 2 occasions in the past three days when I have been to pass urine, there has been a little blood when I wiped myself. It is not flowing out of me but when I push the tissue into the vagina there is a little red blood, almost as if I have cut myself. I do feel sore. Obviously, I am really worried about this. Please advise.

Hi, No need to worry much on this as your age is approaching Menopause, the periods might have stopped as natural process that has to happen. It is normal that after menopause occasional and minimal bleeding can happen now and then. Vaginal dryness, soreness, hot flushes again are symptoms of menopause.
I have to say, at this age you have to be cautious about the warning symptoms of cervical and Endometrial cancer. I suggest you to consult a gynecologist and get a screening done to rule out any changes.I suggest get an pap smear and abdomimo-pelvic ultrasound done after your gynecologist consultation and repeat this annually. Hope this might help!
