What causes spotting after menopause?

"Menstruation" comes again after menopause, or more accurately, vaginal bleeding one year after menopause, which is clinically called postmenopausal bleeding. This is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly women. The etiology is complex and the diagnostic methods vary. In long-term clinical diagnosis, vaginal bleeding is one of the common gynecological symptoms and is often the primary symptom of female reproductive tract cancer, and should be given sufficient attention. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people with poor physical fitness, they should pay more attention to spotting after menopause. Next, let’s talk specifically about what happens when they spot after menopause.

Steps/Methods:

1. Postmenopausal bleeding may be caused by diseases of the vulva, vagina, uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Its causative factors may be inflammatory, endocrine (endogenous or iatrogenic), traumatic, foreign body, or even systemic hemorrhagic diseases. These diseases may be benign, malignant, or non-organic.

2. Vaginal bleeding may be caused by organic lesions. Such as endometritis, submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, benign ovarian tumors, cervical erosion, polyps and various vaginitis, especially senile vaginitis is the most common. When elderly vaginitis is severe, the discharge is purulent, has a foul odor, and may cause spotting of blood.

3. If the intrauterine contraceptive device is left in place for a long time after menopause, the ovaries will atrophy after menopause, and the estrogen level in the body will decrease, causing the uterus to atrophy and the device to become embedded in the myometrium. Damage to the endometrium and myometrium can also cause vaginal bleeding. Regular consumption of pollen and nourishing tonics containing hormones may also cause vaginal bleeding.

Note:

Vaginal bleeding after menopause should be carefully distinguished. In most cases, there is no big problem. Don't be overly nervous, but you cannot ignore it. You should go to the hospital for some necessary examinations and continue clinical observation.
