If vaginal bleeding occurs after more than one year of amenorrhea, it is called postmenopausal bleeding. There are many reasons for postmenopausal bleeding. In most cases, it is caused by benign diseases, but the possibility of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer should never be ignored, although sometimes the amount of bleeding is not much.

3. Menstrual changes. Early symptoms of uterine fibroids also include menstrual abnormalities when tumors grow in the uterus, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and choriocarcinoma, including excessive menstrual flow, irregular periods, prolonged menstrual duration, and spotting. Certain ovarian tumors, such as granulosa cell tumor and theca cell tumor, can secrete estrogen, interfere with the menstrual cycle, and cause menstrual abnormalities.

4. Abnormal vaginal secretions Under normal circumstances, the secretions of the endometrium, endocervix and vaginal exudates form leucorrhea, which is generally not much and varies with the menstrual cycle. The early symptoms of uterine fibroids include tumors in the female reproductive tract, necrosis and ulceration of the tumor, watery, bloody and rice-soup-like leucorrhea, and if accompanied by infection, it may have a foul odor. Abnormal vaginal discharge may be a sign of cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
