What Causes Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding During Menopause?

Yes. I am 62. 3 years ago I had slight bleeding after not having a period since I was 54. At that time the doctor did a d&c and said she removed some benign polops. For the past two days I have had heavy bleeding and must wear a pad. It is very much like my early years of monthly periods. Should I schedule a visit with my gynecologist?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on your past history, it appears that you have been having polyps in the uterus, which has been removed and D & C procedure has been done.
Presently the bleeding could have been due to growth of few more such polyps or due to some other cause like pathology in the cervix.
You need a clinical and per speculum examination along with ultrasound scan of the abdomen to know what could be the cause, so that it can be treated accordingly.
Kindly consult Gynecologist in this regard for evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
