Post-Period Bleeding & Pain: Causes and Potential Solutions

Question
hi

I WONDER IF YOU CAN HELP. I AM 40 YRS OLD AND FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS, 2 WEEKS AFTER MY PERIOD HAS FINISHED I AM HAVING LIGHT BLEEDING/SPOTTING  AND DRAGGING PAINS LOWER STOMACH AND LOWER BACK. FEEL SICK AND LIGHT HEADED.

Answer
Hi Louise,
    Well I don't know what your past is...have you had trouble with endo?
    You certainly are not old, but maybe your body is starting some subtle changes, peri menopausal? I know i started hormonal changes in my early 40's. I did the same thing, where my periods started being irregular, sporadic spotting, migraines slight cramping, some back discomfort.
    I also think your organs shift at a certain age, depending on what you have experienced over the years. My back usually hurt each month, due to a tipped uterus.
    I would check with my gyno and have some blood taken to see if your levels are starting to change.
    Some women even start in their late 30's. Personally, I can't wait to be done with this nightmare. I have been so uncomfortable for years.
    I wish you the best of luck and health. Take care of your self.
