What are menopausal bleeding problems?

When menstruation ceases during menopause, some women may experience continued or irregular bleeding. There are many possible causes, including hormonal changes, polyps, uterine cancer, or other gynecological conditions.

Bleeding after menopause should always be investigated, as it may be a sign of underlying disease, but it is often caused by hormonal changes in the body, which can be regulated with treatment.

Consultation and examination by a gynecologist

A consultation with a gynecologist is essential to determine the cause of your bleeding. During the consultation, we will review:

  • Your medical history and medication
  • Your menstrual and bleeding history
  • Any symptoms such as pain or discomfort

The gynecologist may then suggest relevant tests, which may include ultrasound, blood tests, or biopsy, to ensure a correct diagnosis.

We also assess treatment, which may include hormone therapy, local treatment, or surgical procedures, depending on individual needs and preferences.

Treatment options

Hormone therapy

  • Can stabilize bleeding and relieve menopausal symptoms
  • Individually tailored in dose and type

Local treatment

  • Vaginal hormone therapy for thin or irritated mucous membranes
  • Reduces discomfort and local symptoms

Surgical procedures

  • Removal of polyps or uterine lining if necessary
  • Use only after careful consideration

When should you seek help?

It is important to contact a gynecologist if you experience bleeding after menopause, heavy or persistent bleeding, or pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. An early assessment ensures that any serious causes can be ruled out and that treatment can be tailored to your individual needs, giving you the best possible peace of mind and relief in your everyday life.
