I went to my GP because of the continuous bleeding that I've been experiencing since May. They just gave me Mefenamic acid, 500mg. I'm not in pain or anything, it's just that the bleeding is never ending. I am going to turn 51 this year. Can you help me?

It is important that you go back to your doctor and ask them to look into this further because, although prolonged bleeding does happen, you should not be bleeding for this long - it is not good for you and can cause anaemia and other health issues.

If your doctor refuses to help then I would advise asking for a second opinion.

Just remember that if you were bleeding for this long from anywhere else in your body, you would have had immediate treatment!

Please don't be fobbed off by them saying it is OK - it's not!
