Bleeding after menopause

Posted , 7 users are following.

I am 59 soon to be 60 yr old, and have started spotting.  I am a woman of faith but I have to admit I am afraid.  It started last week, in the form of old dark colored blood, and since then its been basically a spear everytime I use the restroom, I have been to the gyn and he says the bleeding is coming from my uterus and he is concerned, so its not as if the lining is thick or thin.  He has scheduled a ultrasound next week.  Is there anyone that has experienced bleeding from the uterus.  Please respond, going crazy here with all kinds of thoughts.  Thanks and GOD Bless....

    Hi c02706,

    I am currently in the same situation as yourself. I have had a couple of episodes of very light pink spotting after wiping using the loo. I have an appintment to see my GP on Monday and she will obviously refer me to be checked out. I too am terrified of what may be found...5 years with no period and then this happens. You don't mention in your post how long you have been period free/post menopausal?

      Hi, I have been about 5 years post menopausal.  I will be praying for you.  Be sure to find out where the bleeding is coming from, not sure but from what I understand if its the lining that could be, thick or thin, that is causing the bleeding and that is not as serious.

      Hi c02706, you are about the same time post menopausal as me then. Yes, there is a few explanations as to why this may happen apparently, thinning of the womb lining being one of them. Have you had any tests yet?

    Hello c02706 

    First off I want to say I understand EXACTLY how you feel I just went through what you are going through now and I am 59 yrs old too and June of this year I woke up with flooding right off the bat and hadn't had a period in over 19 months I ended up in ER because my bleeding was flooding so bad I felt like i was hemmorraging . I had transvaginal ultra sound done and showed my uterus linning was 9mm so I had to get biospy of uterus and I also got biopsy of cervix and paps. ALL test came back fine! It's good that your spotting is coming from uterus thats where it should come from you could be having a hormonal surge... How long have you been post meno or are you meno? When was your last period? Are you on hrt or anything else for hormones?  Don't let this scare you, post bleeding does happen. When you went to GYN what all did he do that day?
