🩸 Postmenopausal bleeding is never normal and should always be checked by a doctor. While it can be alarming, about 90% of cases are caused by benign (non-cancerous) conditions.
According to medical experts, the most common causes include:
Atrophy: Dropping estrogen levels cause the vaginal or uterine lining to become thin, dry, and easily irritated (the #1 cause).
Polyps: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus or cervix.
Endometrial Hyperplasia: A thickening of the uterine lining.
Medications: Starting or changing hormone therapy or taking blood thinners.
Uterine Cancer: About 10% of cases are linked to cancer. Because bleeding is an early warning sign, catching it early makes it highly treatable.
If you or a loved one experiences any spotting or bleeding after menopause, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with your gynecologist right away.
