Patient's question:
I am 55 years old this year, and I have been menopausal since last year. However, two months ago, I suddenly had another menstrual period. I don't know why. Please help me answer this question, thank you!Doctor's answer:
For women who experience vaginal bleeding again after menopause, regardless of the amount of bleeding, how long it lasts, or how many times it occurs, it is abnormal and should be investigated to determine the source and cause of the bleeding. It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for a thorough examination. Carefully recall whether there are any accompanying symptoms related to the condition, such as bloody discharge, lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, lower back and leg pain, or fever. Also, inform the doctor if there is obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or if you have ever used sex hormone drugs. If necessary, fractional curettage, vaginal cytology, and endocrine tests should be conducted, which generally help in confirming the diagnosis.
