Letrozolo

Torino, Georgia

Good morning everyone, I started taking letrozole three days ago and I've had some bleeding. Is there anyone using this medication who's had the same problem? Thank you and hugs to everyone.🤗

Hi Marina. I was on Tamoxifen for a while but stopped it due to side effects. It’s in the same family as Letrazole. My bleeding came from prior radiation and “ friable” tissue, not from the Tamoxifen.
Please report it to your oncologist as soon as possible. Best of care to you !

Marina. Always let your doctor know if you have pain or bleeding. My pain I had after radiation alerted my team of a different care plan.

Good morning, and hugs right back! 🤗 What a great question to bring to the community.

Bleeding can understandably feel alarming, especially when starting a new medication. While letrozole is sometimes used in endometrial cancer treatment, vaginal bleeding is something that should always be taken seriously and reported to your care team — especially any bleeding that feels unusual or unexpected. Here are a few important things to keep in mind:

- Contact your doctor or oncologist as soon as possible to let them know about the bleeding — even if it seems light
- Don't wait to see if it stops on its own, as your care team needs to know about any new symptoms
- Note any details about the bleeding, such as how heavy it is, the color, and whether it's accompanied by pain or unusual discharge — this will help your doctor assess what's going on

Your care team is the best resource to determine whether the bleeding is related to letrozole or something else that needs attention. You're doing the right thing by reaching out! đź’›
