Please note - this trial is no longer recruiting patients. We hope to add results when they are available.
This study is for women who are going to have tests to look for the cause of vaginal bleeding after the menopause.
Doctors need to collect a large number of urine and vaginal samples. So they hope that around 2,000 women will agree to take part.
You see the study team and answer some questions about your health. They ask you to give a urine sample and a vaginal sample.
You give the urine sample by passing urine into a small pot when you go to the bathroom. This can be done in complete privacy.
You give the vaginal sample at the hospital at the same time you are having other tests, such as a transvaginal ultrasound scan. It takes 1 minute to give the sample. The doctor will take the sample for you. It is not painful and women have said it is easier than having a speculum placed in the vagina for a routine smear test.
The study team might ask you to complete a questionnaire after having the tests. They want to find out whether you had any discomfort during the vaginal test and whether you minded having it taken.
There are no extra hospital visits.
The study team does not think you will have any side effects from taking part in this study.
You might have side effects from other tests that are part of your normal care. We have information about the different tests you may have to diagnose womb cancer.
Please note: In order to join a trial you will need to discuss it with your doctor, unless otherwise specified.
