Patient's question:
My grandmother is already 80 years old. But last year she discovered she had leukorrhea and bought medicine to wash it. Later, the doctor dilated her cervix, and then some bleeding occurred between her legs. Now, there is a recurrence of some minor bleeding. I want to ask the doctor what this disease is. The local hospital couldn't find any cause for it.Doctor's answer:
Older women can also suffer from gynecological diseases because, as they age, their body's resistance decreases. Therefore, the incidence of senile vaginitis and various malignant inflammatory conditions is relatively high. It is recommended to conduct a cervical cytology examination for the elderly to check if the peeling is caused by cervical malignancy. Then, an ultrasound should be performed to examine the condition of the uterus and adnexa. For abnormal bleeding after menopause in elderly women, it is crucial to take it seriously.
