What Could Cause Slight Bleeding Found On The Toilet Paper?
Can be vaginal dryness.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Post menopausal bleeding is a common problem however the most common cause is a problem with the endometrial lining of the uterus.
In your case , with a history of a hysterectomy, this is not a possibility so other causes must be considered.
The other causes can be divided into gyneacological and non gynaecological. The most common gynaecological causes would be vaginal atrophy or dryness or problems related to the cervix if it was a subtotal hysterectomy.
The vaginal dryness would respond to topical estrogen replacement creams and a pap smear would be able to assess the state of the cervix to determine if there are any problems with it.
Lesions of the ovary can also cause this symptom.
You can try aloe vera gel and XXXXXXX butter to avoid any dryness and in case the bleeding persists then you need a detailed evaluation by your gynecologist.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Yes you can get aloe vera gel and XXXXXXX butter at Walmart. These both are very good moisturizers. You need to put these inside the vagina twice a day and clean the area before applying these.
In case you need an estrogen cream you can go with estradiol gel 2%.
Hope my answer is helpful.
