What Causes Vaginal Bleeding During Menopause?

I am 62 y/o. I started to have vaginal bleeding after not having period for 4 plus years. It lasted 2 weeks until my doctor prescribed progesterone. I had ultrasound which showed 3 spots on my uterus. I am having biopsy next week. I have used bio-identical hormones for 10 years. I am worried about cancer. What is your opinion? YYYY@YYYY

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Menopause is the end of menstruation. In clinical terms, you reach menopause when you haven't had a period for 12 months.

Vaginal bleeding after menopause isn't normal and should be evaluated by your doctor.

The cause of your bleeding may be entirely harmless. However, postmenopausal bleeding could result from something serious, so it's important to see your doctor promptly.

Please be patient and wait for the biopsy report to come and don't worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
