Bleeding after menopause

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm 56 year old woman haven't had a period in 18 months and had a D&C five months ago for fibroids and had them removed after very heavy bleeding from them now 5 months after I'm bleeding again but not heavy it goes on and off and stops so I'm thinking my periods are back or is it from stress or what anyone can help me and let me know what to do or what causing it I'm thinking cancer all the way

    When you start reading all these forums, you will realize it is quite common. I'm guessing when they removed the fibroids, they tested the tissue. You would have been informed if it was cancer. Probably the fibroids came back.

    I had fibroids my whole life, which shrunk when I went on the birth control pill. My last scan showed polyps but no fibroids. I had the scan due to postmenapausal bleeding.

      Thank you I have talked with my doctor and he did say bleeding of any sort isn't good after menopause it could be one of two things fibroids grew back or cancer but I'm getting checked to be sure I have stopped bleeding for now but I'm not going to go through it again as I did the first time hopefully it's only stress that caused this to come back I'll soon know
