What Causes Spotting Post Menopause?
Question: Hello, I'm 15 years post menopause and noticed I am spotting with a little burning down there. My back normally hurts, but now I'm feeling like I'm cramping.
Brief Answer:
Consult an OBGYN
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Post menopausal spotting can be due to atrophic vagina, lesions in the cervix and uterus including infection and cancer.
Post menopausal spotting requires proper examination internally , investigations like pap smear and ultrasound as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment timely.
Burning in vagina can be due to atrophy or senile changes or can be due to infection.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
