Postmenopausal Bleeding: A Sign You Should Never Ignore

Menopause is when a woman stops having her periods, usually around the age of 50. Once a woman has gone 12 months without a period, any bleeding that happens after is called postmenopausal bleeding.

While it may seem like just a small problem, it should never be ignored.

It could be a sign of something harmless, like vaginal dryness, but in some cases, it could indicate a more serious issue like endometrial cancer.

What Causes Postmenopausal Bleeding?

There are several reasons why a woman might experience bleeding after menopause, including:

Hormonal Changes – Estrogen levels decrease after menopause, leading to thinning of the vaginal walls or the uterine lining, both of which can cause spotting.
Polyps – Noncancerous growths in the uterus, cervix, or vagina can sometimes lead to bleeding.
Endometrial Hyperplasia – This is when the uterine lining becomes too thick, sometimes due to excess estrogen. If left untreated, it can develop into cancer.
Infections – Some infections can cause inflammation and bleeding in the reproductive tract.
Medications – Certain hormone therapies or blood thinners may lead to unexpected bleeding.
