What Causes Vaginal Bleeding During Menopause?
I turned 55 years old on May 28 and always had regular periods. I had a period in June but none in July, August, or September or it was miniscule, barely noticeable. My doctor ran test and they said that I was definitely menopausal but today, I started a full period. Is this normal? Has menopause started for me? I am active and healthy.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Bleeding during the menopause is not normal.
It could be due to cervix and endometrium dysplasia and cancer, fibroid, endometriosis, hormonal imbalance or vaginal infection.
I would suggest to consult the gynecologist and undergo the USG scan, PAP smear/colposcopy, endometrial biopsy.
Further management will depend on the specific cause.
Hope this may help you

Yes it definitely could be a possibility. starting of menopause does not mean you are or you will get ill.It is a normal aging process of the body.
