Deb,

If this lady has gotten no respect from her physician, she needs ANOTHER physician. I can't say any more than that.

As far as her bleeding, a patient who is over 40 and having continuous spotting or bleeding MUST GO TO THE GYNECOLOGIST. While there are a lot of simple and benign things which may cause bleeding, there are also several types of CANCER which are definitely more common as you get older. You should DRAG her into the doctor as soon as you can, so we can all feel better about this.

Dr. Joe
