Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
During attainment of menopause, some of them might experience such type of abnormalities in frequency of bleeding. However, it such episodes needs to be evaluated to rule out other causes of vaginal bleeding.
Kindly get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen done.
Promptly consult Gynecologist with the report for per speculum and clinical examination to know what could be the cause. Accordingly, appropriate treatment could be instituted.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
