Hi. I am 56 yrs old and have not had a period since 2008. Last week I spotted blood once and have had severe cramps since then. I have been doing construction on my house over the last 2 weeks with a lot of heavy lifting. I have had a tubuligation since 1986. My husband is diabetic and is on the med that gives women urine infections. is it possibe just a urine infection, I have never had one so I do not know what the symtoms are. At the present time i do not have a gyno and my gp has retired. I am on 2 hormones because of hot flashes since 3 years. Hot flashes started when i was 36. Pap test taken by my gp 2 yrs ago was ok. Is it worth trying to find a gyno for a complete exam or just go to clsc for a urine test? Thank you in advance. Pamela Britton YYYY@YYYY
