Bleeding two years after last period
Hello everyone! Just posting a question for my mum who is worried at the moment about losing a small amount of blood 2 years after her last period. She seems to have gotten through most of the menopause symptoms and its been ages since last bleeding, but all of a sudden she's had some loss. She went to the doctors who examined her and said that her cervix is inflamed and red! She's full of panic and thinks there's something terribly wrong. My question... Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone offer some advice as to why this may have happened? Thank you
Just to let you know everything was fine with my mum. Just a bit of cervical erosion. Thank you for your help.
Thank you for your response. She has an appointment in 1 week so I guess we'll have to wait until then to know for sure. Worried :( will let you know how things go.

HI,
Bleeding several years after menopause is known as post menopausal bleeding. This occurs mostly because of local factors in the cervix and vagina or uterus (endometrial hyperplasia). The causes can be benign factors like cervical inflammation and erosion or even cancer. Hence apart from an examination, vaginal smear and Pap smear and colposcopy and an ultrasound scan are necessary to make the correct diagnosis.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
