How Is Bleeding After Menopause Treated?
Bleeding after menopause is treated in a variety of ways, depending on the root cause of the bleeding. Some types of vaginal bleeding that occur after a woman has been post-menstrual for some time are simply due to transient hormonal changes, and do not require any treatment at all. The most appropriate treatment, when it is required, for post-menopausal bleeding can usually only be determined after a full evaluation of the symptoms. One of the commonest causes of menstrual bleeding after menopause is hormonal fluctuations. These may occur, for example, when a woman changes or stops hormone replacement therapy. The treatment for this type of bleeding after menopause usually consists of adjusting the hormonal therapy. Sometimes no treatment is needed, and the symptoms will eventually disappear naturally.
