Women reach menopause around the age of 50, which is also the time of menopause. Once menopause occurs, of course, menstruation will not occur. Menopause refers to the decline of ovarian function, and menstrual flow begins to decrease. However, some women may still experience bleeding after menopause. What is the reason for postmenopausal bleeding in women?
1. Some women may occasionally experience bleeding within two to three years after menopause, especially those who take anti-aging supplements or medications. This situation is mainly due to the accumulation of a small amount of estrogen that stimulates the endometrium, leading to shedding and bleeding of the endometrium.
2. After menopause, the function of uterine tissue declines and relaxes, and there may be uterine prolapse. This can easily cause erosion and bleeding due to frequent friction between underwear and the cervix.
3. Cervical lesions, such as cervical polyps, cervicitis, cervical cancer, etc., can easily cause postmenopausal bleeding. Cervical cancer is more severe, with not only bleeding but also increased vaginal discharge and vaginal discharge.
4. Ovarian cysts can also easily lead to postmenopausal bleeding, especially tumors that secrete hormones.
Women who experience bleeding after menopause should promptly go to the hospital for examination. In addition, elderly women with obesity, hypertension and diabetes are at high risk of endometrial cancer. If such people have vaginal bleeding, diagnostic curettage is necessary to rule out endometrial cancer.
