What is the reason for menstruation one year after menopause?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor. I am 48 years old. I haven't had my period for a year, and I thought I had gone through menopause. But suddenly, I had my period this month, so I came especially to ask the doctor what could cause a period after one year of menopause.

Doctor's answer:

After women enter menopause, they may experience menopause again, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If they have been menopausal for a year but suddenly start menstruating again, it is necessary to consider the possibility of gynecological inflammation, functional uterine bleeding, or the recurrence of other malignant tumors. They should be vigilant and never take it lightly or be complacent. It is essential to promptly visit a regular public hospital's gynecology department for a follow-up examination, identify the cause, and actively treat the underlying condition to avoid delaying the diagnosis and worsening the condition.
