im on menopause i sometimes bleed (period)?

Question

should I be worrisd ? I have told doctor

Answer 1

I think you should be fine. Your body is slowly shutting it's reproductive organs down. My mom is going through "the change" and she will not have a period for 4 months and then one for one. Her doctor is it's normal. However abnormal bleeding can be a sign of bigger problems so keep your anuals up!

Answer 2

This is quite normal, most women when they start their periods don't come on every month. It seems to happen the same at the end as well.

Your body will still be producing some hormones some months more than others, on the months where it is more you will have a period but it will gradually decrease as you go through the menopause. Until eventually you stop completely.

Some women can take 10 years to go through the complete menopause.

I had a hysterectomy at 32 and had 1 ovary removed so no I don't bleed but I do have hot flushes and all the symptoms of the menopause for a couple of months and then I get PMT the next month. I am now 43 and this has been going on since 34.

I have had blood tests done and they show I am Peri-menopausal so my body can't make up it's mind as to go into the complete menopause phase or not. I also take HRT to slow down the speed I go into the menopause.

If you are flooding a lot I would go back and get advice if it is similar to the periods you used to get monthly try not to worry too much.

Hope this helps. :-)

No, sometimes you get a bit of a period, it takes about a year before the whole menopause thing settles down. But if you're bleeding heavy and the next month heavy again, then you shoud tell your doctor. Keep a journal on the calendar, and write down how heavy it is for 3 months, then the doctor can see the pattern.

Answer 4

I am perimanapausal and I started bleeding really badly. I thought it was normal and just lived with it. It stopped and then came back a few months later. Again the bleeding was pretty bad but I didn't worry about it. This went on for about 9 months and I was feeling a little run down and tired. I went to my doctor and he ordered some blood tests.

When the results came back it showed that I had lost way too much blood. My H and H were at 5 and my iron was at 4. I had to be hospitalized and given 3 blood transfusions and I.V. iron.

This was just 2 weeks ago. I feel much better now but I almost died. Be careful, if the bleeding isn't normal, call your doctor.

Answer 5

Tom, you cannot be ON menopause.

Men do not have periods, NOR menopause.

If you ARE a woman, and you have menopause, and you told your doctor, what did he say?

When you "sometimes bleed", is it once a month? Once a week, or a little everyday?

And, what DID your doctor say?

Answer 6

boy with some of the advice you have just received you don't need bad advice. I have been doing the same thing mine is from my hormone levels i have a thyroid problem and i was on the birth control shot for a long time and from not having a period for so long messed my body up if you are stressed that can cause you to spot also, just call your ob/gyn Im sure it is nothing serious though,

Answer 7

I had very irregular periods during menopause. All over the map. Your body's just trying to "re-set" itself. And, not to be too gross, the periods can be very different in consistency, amount, etc. from the ones you had in your twenties. The gal that answered first has it right I think. Don't be worried.

Answer 8

As your body systems change, you will notice the menses less and less. Keep your doctor posted on the bleeding because as with a normal period, too much is not good.

Answer 9

During menopause, there are often instances of spotting while your body adjusts to the changes going on.
