What should I do about vaginal bleeding after intercourse during menopause?

Patient's question:

49 years old, postmenopausal for 3 years. Recently discovered that some blood streaks mixed with white discharge are expelled with semen each time after intercourse. It becomes clean and dry afterward. No discomfort during intercourse or at other times. The vagina is clean and odorless at other times.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be caused by cervical erosion, and you need to have a colposcopy examination. Treatments such as microwave therapy or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) may be recommended. Postoperative antibiotics should be taken to prevent infection. Avoid sexual activity for one month after the surgery. The onset of menopausal syndrome not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
