What Causes Drastic Weight Loss Along With Prolonged Vaginal Bleeding?

Hello, I had a D&C 4 days ago. It was suggested by my Dr. because I had about 2-3 weeks of bleeding-as if I was having my period. I am 56 and also have been losing weight rather consistently in the past 6 months. I have gone from 122 a year ago to 111 about 6 months ago and now am 103.5. Can you shed any light on what may be happening with me. Also, I have lost my appetite-I try to eat but nothing appeals to me. My email is YYYY@YYYY .

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your drastic decrease in your body weight for about 6months now with associated with loss of appetite I am suggesting you have developed a condition called anorexia nervosa (lack of appetite from the brain)

In view of this please see a psychologist specialist for further clinical assessment Councelling and adequate drug prescription

Meanwhile please do the following test to rule possible medical conditions that is tied to the above symptoms

Retroviral test
Complete blood count
Sickling test
Occult stool test
Colonoscopy

Concerning your D and C you did I am suggesting it has also contributed to your decrease in weight loss

I hope this helps Regards
