A 58-year-old woman suddenly experienced vaginal bleeding. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Postmenopausal bleeding is a dangerous signal. Common causes:
1. Tumors - Common ones include endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, cervical cancer, and vaginal tumors. Some functional ovarian tumors can also cause vaginal bleeding;
2. Vaginitis - Senile vaginitis, atrophic endometritis. It is recommended to actively seek medical attention for a clear diagnosis before symptomatic treatment.
