Patient's question:
I have been menopausal since I was 50, and it has been over a year since my last period. Since yesterday morning, I have been experiencing vaginal bleeding without knowing why. The bleeding is not much, and the color is dark purple. I also feel uncomfortable with a sensation of heaviness in my abdomen. What could be the cause of the vaginal bleeding?Doctor's answer:
After menopause, vaginal bleeding is commonly caused by gynecological inflammation, tumors, endocrine disorders, and other factors. It is recommended to undergo an abdominal ultrasound and gynecological examination to check for normalcy. During this period, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more high-protein foods for better digestion and nutrition. Do not stay up late or overexert yourself, and drink more warm water to enhance metabolism. Use warm water to clean the external genitalia, and change underwear promptly. In addition to medication for gynecological diseases, patients also need to pay attention to care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
