If a 55-year-old woman has her period again after a year of menopause, it may be caused by the ovarian function has not completely declined, or it may be caused by endometrial cancer or cervical lesions.
1. After menopause, some women may still have a small amount of estrogen in their body due to the fact that ovarian function has not completely declined, which may lead to a small amount of bleeding one year after menopause, which is normal and does not need to be dealt with.
2. Endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer is one of the three major malignant tumors of female reproductive system. If it is a postmenopausal woman, the typical symptom is irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause, and the vaginal secretion will be obviously increased, and even the symptom of abdominal pain will appear. If endometriosis is suspected, diagnostic scraping is recommended for pathologic examination.
3. Cervical lesions. Postmenopausal women who have cervical diseases, such as acute cervicitis, chronic cervicitis, pre-cancerous cervical lesions or cervical cancer, may lead to postmenopausal irregular vaginal bleeding. So if this symptom occurs, it is also important to get screened for cervical cancer and have a colposcopy to take a biopsy if necessary.
Therefore, if a 55-year-old woman has menstruation again after a year of menopause, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and then targeted treatment, to avoid delaying the condition.
