Detailed Answer:
Hi Thanks for the query,
Went through the attachments. There was an opinion to rule out cervical cancer. My answers in line.
1. Is it expected for it be started even after 16 months.
The new bleeding should not be considered as periods and should be treated as post menopausal bleeding. All post menopausal bleeding should be investigated till the cancer chance is negative.
2. Will it lead to cancer as per Doctor's info.
All vaginal bleeds should be seriously investigated till it is proven otherwise.
3. The Scanning prescribed in the report, is it simple Ultra Sound scanning or any advance scanning(so that we can reperform scanning from other sources)
Get the pap smear done first and if required a cone biopsy of the cervix. Get the Ultrasound scanning done again.
4. What precautions has to be taken at this stage.
Early intervention and do not delay the doctors attention till the contrary is proved.
