Is It Dangerous To Have Periods In The Late Fifties?
I will be 58 in a few days. I am still menustrating but they are not as heavy as they were and I will occasionally skip a month. Should my doctor perform possibly a DNC to stop my cycles? Is it dangerous for my health for me to still be having periods? I don't have hot flashes or any other symptoms.
