Postmenopausal bleeding - what does this mean

Postmenopausal bleeding is the abnormal bleeding from the vagina that occurs in women who have gone through menopause, typically more than 12 months since their last menstrual period. it is usually caused by hormonal imbalances, endometrial polyps or cancer, or uterine fibroids. it is important to seek medical attention if postmenopausal bleeding occurs, as it can be a sign of serious health issues.

What happens during the disease - postmenopausal bleeding

Postmenopausal bleeding is caused by a disruption in the normal hormonal balance of the body. hormones like estrogen and progesterone that are normally produced by the ovaries decrease after menopause, leading to thinning of the uterine lining and increased fragility of the blood vessels in the uterus. this can lead to bleeding when the vessels rupture, which can be a symptom of benign conditions like uterine polyps or more serious conditions like uterine cancer.
