Bleeding after ovary removal

Hi everyone, i had my mastectomy in Feb 06 and Ovaries removed Oct 06 been on Tamoxifen since mastectomy and had no periods since ovaries were removed but 2 weeks ago i started bleeding (not heavy) and my GP sent an urgent referal to Gynecologist. was seen on Friday and had a scan and a sample of my womb taken, they didn’y seem to concerned about this and i am waiting for results of sample. Has anyone else had this problem as straight away i thought the worst and even though the hospital didn’t seem concerned i can’t help but worry. Michelle

Hi Michelle - yes I had the same problem. I had ovaries removed six months ago (and D and C because of Tamoxifen effect). I was bleeding anyway (from Tamoxifen) but bleeding became much worse. Initially docs unconcerned as histology was OK. Bleeding now only very slightly, and am due to see gynae surgeon to check this out next week. GP says probably OK but all abnormal bleeding should be checked.

Would be interested to know how you’re getting on. Yes, it’s easy to think the worst and the worrying can be horrible.
