Patient's question:
I am 55 years old this year, and I have been experiencing menopause since last year. However, two months ago, I suddenly had another menstrual period. I don't know why this happened. Please help me find an expert to answer this question. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
For postmenopausal women experiencing vaginal bleeding again, regardless of the amount of bleeding, the duration, or the frequency, it is abnormal and should be investigated to identify the source and cause of the bleeding. It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention for a thorough examination. Carefully recall 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. Additionally, inform the doctor about any existing conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or a history of using hormonal medications. If necessary, procedures such as fractional curettage, vaginal cytology, and endocrine tests may be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
