Common Questions and Answers about Period after menopause
period
I am not on hormones or any type of medication anymore. The meds my dr gave me got me thru menopause after 6 months and then nothing else. I haven't taken the meds in years. Can't even remember what they were called.I am making an appt for next week but thank you so much. It's nice to know that
i'm not alone in this.
A few seconds after I will feel depressed, frighten, angry, tired etc all at once then a few seconds after I will sweat profusely. The period came back after four months and I was normal then the next year the symptoms repeat now for the third time every timeout would be more intense several times a day in sleep waking up with palpitations and even awake. It's been almost seven months since I've had a period and the terrible feelings are lessening a bit about two weeks now.
Oh gosh, no. I don't think you'd ovulate after menopause. It's been 15 years without a period? So, it's my understanding that ANY post menopausal bleeding needs to be discussed with your doctor right away. Call your doctor. This sounds like you may have when you say they still want to do more testing? Pelvic pain and unusual bleeding after menopause are things we sometimes do associate with cancer as I'm sure you are aware.
I am going through menopause and my period returned after 16 months and my doctor want to do an D&C to check for cancer.Should I be concerned and wait to see if my peroids return again next month?. Is this normal with menopause? I have been under alot of stress and thought this may be the problem... The period was normal it lasted 5 days. what should I do?
YES
I am 52 and just like u I got a period, 32 months after menopause. Went and had an vaginal ultrasound, costly $300, but u get $220 back from medicare. Only run by women. My results of this was a fibroid. But, as yet have not seen the Gynaecologist. Will visit my GP on Tues 2/JUNE.
This was still very frightening. A very heavy period/clots lots. Your thoughts go wild don't they? But only lasted 2 days. I am still very concerned. especially after menopause.
Please let me know how u went.
We heard that after 1 year of last period with out any other period can be menopause but if a vaginal blood occurs after can be other problems non related to menopause, like cervical cancer. Her last pap was 2 years ago and everything was ok, before that every year she had her pap, this is the longest time with out taking this routine examination, any comment will be really appreciatted.
Yes, you can still develop cysts after being in menopause. I did; I grew a 10cm cyst and had it removed a few months ago. You shouldn't have to live in pain till you're 51 and at the "average age" of menopause. That's baloney.
Usually they say you're menopausal if you haven't had a period for 12 months. But there is a chance you have a thyroid or hormonal imbalance going on. Menopause is better but you need some kind of answers to all of this.
did not get period since 9 months irregular periods over 3 years age 42 now. had unsafe sex 5 days back . am i pregnant.
From 12 when I first got my period to 33 I had perfect periods. No cramps. No excessive bleeding. Then one period my life changed. For the next 20 years I had life-altering cramps and hemorrage type bleeding. Anaprox alleviated the cramps and I lived on it. I had many D&C and was told I had fibroids and I should have an hysterectomy. I refused. I have only been pregnant once and that end with an abortion in 1973 when I was 23.
Well maybe this may help. I'm 45 (46 next month) and have gone without one for a year and 4 months,and it looks like i may be getting one, so far i've only had cramping and some spotting. My recent FSH was 24.8, LH 27.5, Progesterone 0.5, Prolactin 5.7. Not changing the subject here but my dr says i'm in Menopause, now reading your post i tend to differ. and she never told me over 40 means meno. And yes you do have to be one year without a period.
i am a 51 year old woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 45 had lumpectomy radiation treatment and 5 years on tamoxifen i have not had a period since being put on the tamoxifen i was in a drug induced menopause now 6 months ago i was taken off the tamoxifen and tested to see if i was in a natural menopause i was not and since have started having a period i have always had painful cramping with my periods and now that its back that has not changed my question is birth control pills had al
) cysts on it, all different kinds (simple, hemmoraghic, endometrioma). I get a period EVERY single month like clockwork. I take prescription meds to get through the pain and usually use a box of tampons or more. My breasts are sore for 3 weeks a month - very, very sore and full. Well, after my surgery, I was expecting easier periods but the day after surgery I began bleeding again. Now, 4 weeks later, I'm premenstrual again and miserable.
I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Bleeding after menopause is actually more common than most people realize. And in most cases, it ends up being nothing serious, oftentimes just some sporadic ovarian activity (e.g., getting rid of those last eggs). But also, the ovaries never shut down; they produce hormones our whole lives.
Hi Colleen
I think you are simply transitioning into perimenopause. Your symptoms describe it perfectly. I had the same symptoms in my early 40's and went to my OB/GYN as I thought it was a bit too early for menopause. She took a blood sample which confirmed her dx.
I'd guess for at least the next two years I felt like I was on a menstrual roller coaster. I never knew when..........or if, my period was coming. I'd get all the pre-period symptoms but no period.
My gyn says that no period for ONE YEAR = menopause. You are very close to that milestone. Fibroids are supposed to lessen after menopause but you may not be at that advantage point yet. Ovarian cysts are a possibility...they can still occur after menopause although it doesn't make any sense since ovulation is supposed to be over. Maybe something goes terribly wrong with the final ovulation cycle. I don't think even the doctors understand why it happens, only that it does.
Hi my name is andrea and blood tests confirmed i had premauture menopause at 21 sinve having ivf treatment and had my baby at the age of 26 i still get a monthly bleed and im now 40 years old. my question is as if ive gone through the menopause is it normal to have a regular monthly period ?
I became pregnant after my husband had a vasectomy. Post- op 2 years. He had the test 3 months post op and the result was negative. Two years later I became pregnant ( by him) and he went for the test again and the result was 0 sperm seen. Either the lab messed up or there is more contraversery about vasectomies than we are aware of. Yes, a DNA was done and yes we went through hell and back. Well, allmost back.
I am 40,Never in my life ihad a problem,my periods were always on time,but this is since 4 mnths my periods are irregular,this time my periods have continued for a month,still not stopped,i went to gyn,she put me on provera,it didnt wrkd,no w she put me on yasmine,light birth control pills,its been 3 days,still i am bleeding,she have told me once period stops come for biopsy.i am worried losing lot of blood is not good.pl suggest me any cure for this.
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...
