Hello Doctor,
My friend is 50 years old and has reached menopause 2 years ago. She has started exercising and does weight lifting, cardio exercises, etc. However, she has started her periods again. The periods are regular, with a good flow, and there are no lumps or any concerning symptoms. What should she do?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Your friend is experiencing what we call postmenopausal bleeding, which requires investigation. I recommend that she undergo a pelvic ultrasound to check the thickness of the uterine lining and rule out any other possible issues, especially if she has conditions like diabetes or hypertension. After two years of menopause, it is uncommon for periods to return. It is important to evaluate this further to ensure everything is okay.
Thanks
